@Doug Martin – That’s funny! Got to keep those cheaters from cheating. 😉
On the criticism of Splitsville – the natives are restless!
@Guyon – Very funny 😉
The use of martial arts belts also has a synergy with our industry’s (overuse) of ‘ninja’. Also, for belts, don’t award one belt per challenge completion, you have a number of challenges on your way to belt graduation. Keep a leader board of students’ progress for bragging rights and friendly peer encouragement.
By the way, I love the idea of Catalyst. I’ve always known I’d eventually ‘give back’ honoring my mentors who ‘cared’ about me (I’m not from the best provenance). When you decide to franchise I’ll be here in Richmond VA eager to share to the less-privileged.
Copying and Pasting code isn’t cheating! Isn’t that right Jason? 😉
I don’t know how I’ll ever get the image of Justin – in an inflatable sumo suit and motorcycle helmet – flying around Pasadena in a microlight mowing down zombies out of my head.
@Matt S – Yeah, that could be a problem. 😉
Thanks for the wishes guys. Yes I did listen that far.
I found Splits ville beautiful.
The problem with the C++/Objective C guys is that they have to find a way to justify their higher salary or hourly rate.
The sound of Justin the Zombie had me nearly in tears as I walked around the grocery store, everyone staring at me like I’m nuts. Too funny!
Guys, again thanks for the Musk links. I have listened to all three and find myself still blown away by Elon’s audacity and precision.
