Learning From Monkeys

Read Original

The article uses the simple act of peeling a banana—learning a more efficient technique by observing monkeys—as a metaphor for software development. It argues that developers should continually question their assumptions and seek better methods, even in areas where they feel confident, as there may always be a more efficient or innovative approach waiting to be discovered.
