    A friend of mine was once interviewing an engineer for a programming job and asked him a typical interview question:

    • How do you know when a function or method is too big?
    • Well, said the candidate, I don't like any method to be bigger than my head.
    • You mean you can't keep all the details in your head?
    • No, I mean I put my head up against my monitor, and the code shouldn't be bigger than my head.

  7. Chords

    • M-x eww RET url

    Very basic built-in web editor; love it to read articles dealing w/ programmation:

    • M-x eww RET url
    • M-x some-major-mode
    • M-x linum
  8. It's not a bug, it's a feature! "It was working in my head"
