# Daily Dev Tips
# Source: https://github.com/razobeckett/random-scripts
#
# About:
# This script provides a random developer tip, joke, or quote along with the current date, time, and weather.
# A fun, quick boost to start your coding session on a positive note!
#
# Requirements:
# - curl (for fetching weather information)
#
# How to use:
# $ chmod +x daily-dev-tips.sh
# $ ./daily-dev-tips.sh [location]
# Example:
# $ ./daily-dev-tips.sh "San Francisco"
# # #

# Fetch a random development tip or joke

		"Keep your functions short and sweet. Aim for one purpose per function!"
		"Remember: 80% of the code you write today may be unreadable in 6 months, even by you."
		"Take regular breaks! Your code, and your health, will thank you."
		"Don't over-optimize prematurely. Solve the problem first, improve later."
		"Write tests! A bug found during testing is much better than one found in production."
		"A clean codebase is a happy codebase. Refactor often."
		"Why did the programmer quit their job? They didn’t get arrays."
		"Debugging is like being the detective in a crime movie where you are also the murderer."
