Lazy coding done right

When performing a task, even if it's a one-off, I believe it's a mistake to approach it with a short-term vision. We might solve many problems just for one occasion, but that's the nature of any project; each one is unique and happens only once. Should we really ship it with a sh … | Continue reading
