@prologic@twtxt.net Some of them are a bit above my head too but I found it fun, like the analogy of the guy making things work in a go-cart competition with duct tape and WD-40. In the author’s mind, ‘duct tape programmers’ are like this and can make things simple and workable. And ship things fast/early, instead of obsessing over every little thing and never shipping a product. Despite the name I don’t think he’s advocating messy/hacky code, but rather clever/simple solutions.
