Whoa! This is not the way to get a programming job done. Rambling does not get you there.
Before you can write effective code, you have to focus your thinking process. Don't get
caught up in fascination with coding tricks. Look for tools to accomplish clearly defined
purposes. Express those purposes, and the steps to achieve them, in plain language.
Most important, take a breath.
