When you are in an emotional state, your mind creates corresponding thoughts. When you feel angry, you will seek out things that seem ‘reasonable excuses’ to feel angry.

For Practice_ Object Calisthenics + TDD + Advent of Code I’m falling into this pattern: Red Green asap (fake it) Refactor (until you make it) Refactor Express intention Extract method, giving it a name that tells the intention, but the implementation looks more like a green asap Change implementation to match expressed intention Object Calisthenics rules often broken in the previous refactors: No properties Wrap all strings and primitives First Class Collections So before I did as little ’express intention’ as possible....
