In one of my first sessions, Jimmy said he’d make my programming so methodical it’d almost seem boring. I was wondering what he meant, and after many sessions, I now understand. And far from being boring, it’s made me so much more productive and confident in my programming abilities. I now review code for all sorts of issues (coupling, premature abstractions, poor data structures, etc.) in a very precise way, telling engineers exactly what would happen if they did or didn’t listen to what I have to say. And in most cases, it’d turn out exactly like what I said. Also, I have a much better understanding of the general structure of large programs that I’m able to navigate huge codebases much more efficiently than before. Jimmy is really a godsend, and regardless of how good you think you already are, he’ll make you even better.
