About
A few lines from The Zen of Python I try to live by.
Simple is better than complex.
When I start overcomplicating things, and I will, I come back to the basics. They're what actually count.
Complex is better than complicated.
But some problems really are hard, and those take time. The trick is not burying what matters under everything else.
Now is better than never.
Either way, I try not to wait for tomorrow to start.
Although never is often better than right now.
Then again, I don't have to build Rome in a day.
The rest of the time: lifting, Chicago sports, and whatever I've had on repeat lately.
