Reading Time: < 1 minute I used to watch NBA game quite a bit. I noticed in many teams, there are usually a go-to-guy who attempts the last shot, in close game. This is especially true in important games, such as playoff or elimination games. We all know Kobe Bryan and Lebron James are among those. Is there such a

The developer I worked with is very enthusiastic about unit testing, test driven development.

Reading Time: < 1 minute I learned the lesson the hard way. Almost a year ago, I left my former employer, and I had to turn in my iPhone 4s. Being a computer professional, I knew the backup thing, so I backed up the photos to iTunes, both via iCloud and via iTunes to PC. But I forgot one more
Reading Time: 2 minutes Job I changed too much. Three W-2 in one year. I hope to stick with my current employer for a while. Family Our daughter grew up quickly.
