Picks of the week!

• [10:50] Dan's pick: Miguel's post on "Well Actually" describes the social & work mismatch of developers needing to be incredibly precise when writing code and having that annoying trait bleed into your personal life by interrupting people to make minor corrections, notes, etc.
