It’s time for yet another round of ‘close ALL the tabs’. Made even better this time by some random mixup by which some apps open links in FireFox tabs, others in Chrome. Instead of fixing it, it makes for a nice organization system. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/05/please-dont-learn-to-code.html – To code or not to code. Some decent arguments both

To help prep for the BrownBag or to learn overall about the
