     execution.  I can empiricallyh compare different implementations
     of the same function specifrication using well-defined metrics,
     including execution time and memory footprint.  I express
     invariants in my code.  I use stubs to gain flexibility on
     implementation order.")

     structure and plan ahead my coding activity.  I can design and

     specifications on external input and output.  I systematically
     attempt to generalize functions to increase their reusability.")

     requirements in specifications. I can break down a complex

     existing (E)DSL or metaprogramming patterns to increase my
     productivity.")

     or not.  I can exploit under-specification to increase my
