Dr Karl answers your programming questions

Dr Karl

One of the world's best dressed and most friendly scientists, Dr Karl answered a question about muscle exhaustion.

Why do arm muscles get tired? @maxiewawa Mmm. Ca++ exhaustion, glucose exhaustion, lactic acid overload, neurotransmitter exhaustion, etc.

I can relate, whenever I write C++ code I get severe muscle exhaustion in my fingers and brain ;-).

By contrast, Java shifts some of that mental exhaustion from the brain to the fingers WithItsExcessiveCamelCaseMethods. I think wrapper methods saved me from serious finger ligament damage and carpel tunnel syndrome.

This post that I constructed entirely out of an intentionally misread quote was brought to you by a Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
