Here's some threads from this month that are worth giving a read:

Refactoring Exercise: An example

Why is "how are you" asked when the reply is always "I am fine" even if not so?

Is it acceptable to have long names for variable?

Everything's broke and nothing works?

Thanks to Junilu Lacar, Satyaprakash Joshii, Monica Shiralkar, and Joe Ess for starting these topics and everyone else that joined in for the discussions.
