The new project-thing is starting to move again, as I suspected it would. The only thing that worries me is that I seem to have more source files than actual functionality. It isn’t clear how many source files I’m supposed to have, but maybe this is too many. Or it isn’t. No idea.

I’m sure I’ll read about it on Hacker News, which I read every day just for this kind of thing. Someone posts an article endorsing some piece of programming/life advice. It’s earnest, harmless and silly. Someone else posts a rebuttal arguing the opposite advice. It’s earnest, harmless, and silly. Someone else has a convoluted mirror-universe take on the original advice. It’s–we’ve been here before. Given my example above, we’d have:

Too Many Source Files Makes You a Bad Programmer

Not Enough Source Files? You’re a Dick

Source Files: Can You Have Too Many?

I’ve Got Your Source Files Right Here

Steve Jobs Might Have Mentioned How Many Source Files You’re Meant to Have

Evil Government Attempts to Regulate Source Files

There’s plenty of useful tech articles, so I don’t mind the fluff, which is actually endearing in its own way. It’s human, and often serves as a pleasant chaser to the straight-up tech shots.

Speaking of useful tech, there’s not much in this post, is there? Never mind. Back to work.
