If you're looking for a new job, don't simply tell your interviewer:
- "I've been a software engineer for 3 years"
You should measure your own experience in qualitative terms. Not number of years.
Try these ideas instead:
In #software, less is more.
@thedrlambda spoke to @KevlinHenney about #refactoring focused on concrete rules and getting any method down to five lines or less. Improve code readability & testability while identifying performance bottlenecks

I still love this quote:
"If an idea is good and it turns out to be true somebody else will have done it.
If an idea is stupid you have a chance that nobody else is dumb enough to try it.
Then if it happens to work you really have something!" -- @KentBeck
