Prefer duplication over the wrong abstraction (2016)

https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537c0374e4b0f52ed92942e6/1406255585576-8V9OA9Q3VR7LM1P1NCAE/logo-color.png?format=1500w
The "wrong abstraction" problem occurs when code is modified to accommodate new requirements, leading to conditionals and duplicated logic, making it hard to understand and maintain. The solution is to "go back" and remove the abstraction, inlining code to make it easier to understand and add new features, rather than trying to preserve the existing code.

Slow breathing modulates brain function and risk behavior

This effect is associated with changes in brain activity in regions involved in reward processing, such as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and precuneus.

Excessive nil pointer checks in Go

https://konradreiche.com/img/og.jpg
Defensive programming in Go should focus on checking inputs, bounds, and pointers before dereferencing them, but not with nil checks that silently handle impossible states. Instead, establish invariants and model intentional optional states to ensure the system can rely on guarantees, rather than relying on fear-driven clutter with nil checks.
