My version is write less code. It doesn't always work, but it is usually a misunderstanding of the domain ( which is a function of no specs).

Spoiler Alert The spinning top is not a red herring, it tells us much about the movie. My questions is why is he using Mal's totem throughout the whole movie ? He manipulated it when it was in Mal's Safe and everyone in the group there knew how it worked. This makes it an useless totem. He could not figure out if he was in a dream . The ability to see the faces of the kids doesn't dictate he is in reality, it only shows that he is in a place where his mind is ready to accept him seeing his kids.

I participate in martial arts, and would sometimes bruise my hands (overenthusiasm ftw). With query it would hurt my hand after typing for an hour or to before I had to stop with Dvorak, it was easier to keep typing all day.

This can be said of any game. Whether or not something is a waste of time is determined by the user, not the creator of the game. If you like coding them, then code them and gain the experience of coding them.

would love to, but part of the professionalism at the company I would for is identical desks ( I have asked if I could bring in my own desk, was told no, it would encourage people to be unprofessional)

I do exercise during lunch, the issue is it is not healthy to sit down all day. I normally would have a war bike or a treadmill to keep moving but the place I work likes the appearance of being professional. Thank you for the link
Ask HN: exercise at desk
I used to work form home, and exercise quite a bit. Now I have an on location job, so getting up in the middle of the day and exercising is out of the question. How does everyone here exercise at their desk?
