<p>If you know a lot about one single language, it may make it easier to get a
job, but in the long run, language usage dies or loses its charms and you'll
need to find something else. Knowing a bit about a lot of other languages
helps in the long run, not to mention that may help you think of better
solutions.</p>

<p>One thing a team may decide to fix the continuous flux of code style comments
in a code review is to use a code formatting tool to auto-format the code.
That's ok, but they should never rely on it.</p>

Richard Dawkins's essays are an enthusiastic testament to the power of
rigorous, scientific examination, and they span many different corners of his
personal and professional life. He revisits the meme, the unit of cultural
information that he named and wrote about in his groundbreaking work The
Selfish Gene. He makes moving tributes to friends and colleagues, including a
eulogy for novelist Douglas Adams; he shares correspondence with the
evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould; and he visits with the famed
paleoanthropologists Richard and Maeve Leakey at their African wildlife
preserve. He concludes the essays with a vivid note to his ten-year-old
daughter, reminding her to remain curious, to ask questions, and to live the
examined life.</p>

You should learn a programming language every year, as recommended by The
Pragmatic Programmer. But if one per year is good, how about Seven Languages
in Seven Weeks? In this book you'll get a hands-on tour of Clojure, Haskell,
Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, and Ruby. Whether or not your favorite language is
on that list, you'll broaden your perspective of programming by examining
these languages side-by-side. You'll learn something new from each, and best
of all, you'll learn how to learn a language quickly.</p>
