This is precisely why I am much more effective at home. I can do some actual thinking work without having to keep clicking through emails and scrolling through random bits of code to make it seem like I am productive. agileotter.blogspot.com/2014/09/prog...

People have never tried to cure my left-handedness, but they have tried to cure my autism. I wonder if one day my psychological report will be similarly received as the title of this book.
