Swearing or cursing as a habit during general discourse is a bad thing because it is a sign of both mental weakness and lack of self control. Have you heard about the study that found that dogs bark because they don't know what else to do? People curse because they can't find anything else useful to say. Sometimes it's okay, like when you hammer your finger by accident. But wolf puppies bark, and as they grow more mature they bark less or not at all. They are able to intercept the urge, they show the self control to avoid barking. As the mental capacity and self control of people increases, they will curse/swear less. As noted by the article, people are cursing and swearing more, which means it is likely their mental capacity is also diminishing. Recent studies on how Google and the constant barrage of information has a negative effect on cognition may provide a hint as to why swearing is becoming more prevalent. That's my theory.

Sometimes I can't get coding because there are just too many ways to write the code, or there are too many conflicting requirements or whatever. The solution is not clear in my head. So I write the solution in paragraph form, or bulleted list form. I write in English. This dovetails with a lot of other excellent suggestions that you break down the work into little bits. Break it down in English (or your natural writing language, mine just happens to be English).

Most of the time, as you stare at the resulting list, you think about a few of the items "I can do that in 5 minutes, it's simple". Almost reflexively, you start coding.

Then, as suggested above, tick off the bullets as you get them done.

Yes, but the baggage is transported from the plane to baggage pickup. The mail trucks don't just drive on to the tarmac.

It's a driveable airplane. One key difference is it is marketed to licensed pilots.

I wonder how many airports are out there that have a path from the runway to the road that isn't fenced off or have some other barrier to getting this craft on the road.
