You style of narrative and choice of analogies really tell the tale vividly and captures the sentiments of what a developer goes through. It's just three lines, how hard or bad could it be? Sometimes the prize is a ticket to the Deep Valley of Frustration. Really enjoy your blog. Great post.

"Hitting the brakes" reminds me of my driving teacher's educational methods. I wonder if one could apply this to software development, though :-) Hi Orcmid, thanks for leaving your thoughts. “Hitting the brakes” reminds me of my driving teacher’s educational methods.

Thanks. What's funnier is that the Google ads, that also seem to know where my ISP is located, are all about local driver education and traffic school. Three things about seat belts. 1. I learned to be an airline passenger before I learned to drive (and before there were mandatory seatbelt laws). After learning how much more comfortable (and safer) it is to keep an airline seatbelt fastened except when leaving my seat, it was second nature to do the same when I started to drive at the age of 26. 2. The one time I had a problem with a passenger was when my son was late in his adolescence and decided to refuse to buckle up one day. The car was already in motion, so I ended the argument by hitting the brakes. He caught on quick and fastened his seat belt. It was really some sort of control issue, and I am not sure I handled that well (I also pointed out that him being unbelted was a danger to others in the front seat too, if we were hurtling about for some reason.) Anyhow, neither of us have forgotten that experience, although there may be more lessons to it. 3. Some women, including my wife, have anatomical difficulties with some seat belts, especially the over-the-shoulder and down the chest sort. I can sympathize with their pulling the shoulder belt slack in that case. This is a great post. Thanks.
