This is my blog, mostly about programming. https://mitchum.blog/

I started it with three goals in mind: 1. Remember more of the things I learn about complex topics. 2. Improve my writing skills. 3. Learn about driving traffic to a website.

The most noteworthy and popular section are the game tutorials: https://github.com/mmaynar1/games

I definitely agree about VR. The first time I played "Robo Recall" on the Oculus Rift I couldn't believe how responsive and immersive it was.

For sure. In the case of IntelliJ resource usage, you get what you pay for.

I use IntelliJ for work every day and I agree, so many of its features make work so much better.

I do the same thing. I also keep auto commit off and make sure the rows updated looks correct before committing the change.

One definition I've heard before (and like) is "code without tests". I don't think that's the only factor, but it's a pretty common indicator.
