     Has "ravioli #code" actually taken on a negative connotation? "hundreds of similar little pieces of logic, often classes or objects, without proper structure"? http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/writing/structure/

   Recently ran into a blog that hijacked browser history-nav buttons and made them just go back/forward through the blog's history. #WTF is wrong with these people?

     @nymnotinservice I believe the "variables first" rule in C is harmful and _should_ be broken in the new code.
