"They should present it better", or "They should find someone with better English", we often complain. It is not our fault that we don't understand what he said, and we are fully entitled to turn off our attention. At the end we are the one wasting time pretending we are listening, but gain nothing at all …
I am also a programmer. I started programming when I was 12. Arguably, I was girl then, not yet a woman.

I don't believe I am good at coding because …
Mirroring a git repository if you already have a local working copy

In this case, however, CoffeeScript is making our problem less apparent, so let's take a look at what this code looks like using plain JavaScript. function …
