  1. I think, you only go faster by adding people, if you are able to separate tasks. For example, when I use some actively maintained library, I can use the progress made in that library without slowing down my own project, as long as there are no breaking changes.

  2. System 1: Do you want to prove this wrong to me by giving be food? System 2: I don't know, I don't care.

  3. 11:00 I often even do big refactors or just rewrite classes instead of looking for bugs, when they are not obvious and difficult to find because it's faster and in the end, I understand better, what's going on, because I removed all the old code, which does not, what I currently want, etc.

  4. I don't think, I would let the one, who makes the best food, win an argument. On the one hand, noone can bring better food, than I eat at home, especially what my grandma did, and ot the other hand, I don't believe my grandma much more than other people because of that.

  5. 6:19: What are function points? The number of functions after compiliation? I guess, c++ or something similar, because of templates (generics), which get expanded for every function/method.

  6. Oh, looks like small numbers of functions are up. Then I'd expect some language, where you don't have multiple functions/methods/constructors for similar behavior, but keyword arguments, probably you would not write constructors at all to create objects/structs, nor would you have any generics, which might create multiple versions of a function.
