I’m in the course of pursuing a change in my career towards software engineering/architecture. So far I’ve been brought mostly to C#/.NET and Java, though Java attracts me more, even considering that it might be a “dying” language.

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing....
