this kind of thing is what I realised in my first 2 years of my work life. and whenever we have a family gathering, those relatives are usually bragging how hard their jobs and life are. but not me, I brag how easy my job is. clock in at 930, get the hell out at 1830, then no thoughts given about job after the hours.

Enum types have saved me so many "typo"-related errors. Even in this case, it's not exactly a typo, but the encoding process should make you ask questions about the domain and the meaning of the strings you operate on.
