Cher ami

Aujourd'hui je voudrais vous écrire en français. Je vous en prie, pardonnez mon français. Mon niveau c'est environ A2/B1 donc ma grammaire n'est pas parfaite.

Tribute

Dear friend

I'm writing this letter someone very dear. I'm writing it to you.

Inspiration

Dear friend

Have you ever played The Beginner's Guide? It's remarkable. It's emotionally gut-wrenching and one of the most relatable stories I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

Closer

Dear friend

So I had my assessment the other day. The one I had long been awaiting, for 6 months, and for the first time in a long time - I have some good news to share.

Shorter code ≠ better code

There's an interesting post about how clever code is bad. It outlines some bad practices, and some good ones to use in their stead, such as the snippet:

// bad
while (*d++ = *s++);

// good
strcpy(destination, source);

But I'm here to hammer that point home and show to you that shorter code can, and often does, perform a lot worse than a readable alternative.
