Could you convince them that writing documentation is a nice way to procrastinate and makes the implementation part easier? I swear I solved an implementation problem (which caused no small amount of headscratching) recently just by carefully specifying the function to be implemented. By doing that I ended up describing the cases correctly which then made the implementation trivial. It was a recursive function so a botched case analysis easily leads to incomprehensible behavior.

source control, etc. as fluff, nice to have, non-productive, etc.

¡Dios mío! I'm glad that I've used source control for very low importance projects so that I can use it without any real effort when it's needed.

The crappy part of programming really is that there are so many useful tools that you have to bring together and tinker with to make them good. Like to write good unit tests you presumably ought to be specifying your functionality in good enough detail, your testing framework presumably has a few knobs to be set, then you have to make testing and documentation work with your build system, for Git you need a .gitignore file and so on, all this upfront work and busy work that makes it all easy to skirt.

Honestly it's in the top tier of book titles, unironically. Instantly memorable, tells you exactly what to expect. A+ Edward T. Wright!

A poem:

We have seen thee, queen of cheese,

Lying quietly at your ease,

Gently fanned by evening breeze,

Thy fair form no flies dare seize.

All gaily dressed soon you’ll go

To the great Provincial show,

To be admired by many a beau

In the city of Toronto.

That v real. I noticed once that you could basically buy a bunch of little non-diamond gems for 10$ and checked out a few options on Amazon, I was being bombarded for months with gemstone ads for diamonds, artificial diamonds, zirconiums, sapphires etc. and now I hate gemstones.

The way I heard it explained was that EP was cribbed out of back cover blurbs of books on existentialism, then some edge was added to the mix. Tatami Galaxy was plenty existential to me so it's not something I actively seek out.
