#### How Does One Know Everything?

When pressed for the secret sauce, Martins boils it down to [F*ck Around and Find Out](https://twitter.com/maiyajambalaya/status/1575208253071720450) (not exactly in those
words, but we like the meme here.) That answer, although accurate, may invite further questions from the audience.

Martins will show you the specific ways he plays around to figure stuff out, and to break the illusion
that only special programmers can achieve wizardly knowledge.
