“… just around the corner,
take a step back to move forward,
and question everything!”
The most difficult thing about programming is understanding what actually needs to be done.
You then need to find the right words to explain it.”

“Fun of use-case architecture and clean code. Always trying to think ahead and guess what user may like to have as a feature as well as where he can ‘fire his own leg’ :-).
