Learning to use the @github@twitter.com issue tracker. Our repo has issues like "Explosion can happen during conversation" and "Properly report cause of death".

"If we see ‘lines of code’ as ‘lines spent’, then when we delete lines of code, we are lowering the cost of maintenance." – Thomas (tef) Figg

Playing video games can be an effective painkiller, as it ‘distracts’ the part of the brain associated with pain response.
