Haha. Be careful with the camel conmen tomorrow. Suddenly one of the camels will run off, and you will have to pay bigtime to find your wife again. Also, be careful to wash your fingers after touching the money, bacterias fermenting place number one... Enjoy :)

Re: Teaching good software design

One piece of advice that might be useful in most situations is to start learning about your problem domain. Writing tests is a way to start learning. Working with examples you have to think about how your solution is to be designed and used by clients. Of course there are many more ways to learn, like drawing models on a whiteboard, discussing the problem with others or just start hacking. I tend to prefer tests, but I appreciate that testing requires experience and can be a hard path to follow. In any case, giving general advice when you I know the problem well enough often fails.

A typo at the end, sorry: In any case, giving general advice when I don't know the problem well enough often fails.

Dear chief scientist

How come that fire is put out when you puff at a match, while a forest fire increases in high winds?
