I have already expressed my personal dislike for Advent of Code over the years. But I thought I would at least try to write down what makes me so vocal about it when it comes around.

I've been meaning to write my commentary on code reviews for a while. This is particularly a view of how code reviews are done in the workplace, rather than in Free Software projects.

Here is another suggestion of an idea available for others to implement, since I have no time for it: how to measure whether a water softener needs to be refilled with new blocks of salt. Plus some musings about using a battery for it.
