You can check out some more of Henley's work on his blog here. Recent pieces include: 

  • A theory of how developers seek information
  • All my career rejections
  • Navigate your code like it's 2021
  • Why is it so hard to see code from 5 minutes ago?
  • An inquisitive code editor: Overcome bugs before you know you have them
