Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur

Peter Naur's classic 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building" argues that a program is not its source code. A program is a shared mental construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who work on it. If you lose the people, you lose the program. The code is merely a written representation of the program, and it's lossy, so you can't reconstruct

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

• Kinesis Freestyle (Terrible key switches. Mushy and un-lovable)

• Kinesis Freestyle Edge (Traditional layout with too many keys, mech switches, proably too big to be tented easily/properly)

• Matias Ergo Pro (Looks pretty great. Have not tried.)

• ErgoDox Kit (Currently, my everyday keyboard. Can buy pre-assembled on eBay.)

• ErgoDox EZ (Prolly the best option for most people.)

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book.

My Vimium Key Bindings (Emacs-Style)

This is a full set of key bindings (as of Vimium v1.45); covering all Vimium functionality. I have tried to map all Vimium functionality to comparable Emacs functionality (whenever possible). In cases where there is no equivalent, those commands are prefixed by <c-g> (indicating <c-g>oogle Chrome; and because <c-g> does not conflict with other Emacs shortcuts at all).

Commented Shortcuts: There are a few Emacs-style shortcuts that are simply not possible in Vimium. All of my shortcuts (including those which were not possible; i.e. where I used a decent alternative) have been commented below. This should help to clarify my rationale.

_Compatibility: All of these shortcuts were tested on Mac OS X (Mavericks). Please note that all of my shortcuts operate under the assumption that your Emacs Meta key is the ⌥ Alt/Option key. This really was my only choice, because the ⌘ key is already used in Chrome for shortcuts that c
