Level-Up Your Code-Fu With Chuck Norris (and ReSharper, VsVim and NCrunch)

Our minds possess an unlimited potential and are, without a doubt, the best tool we have in our software development arsenal. However, the interface between our minds and the computer - hands, keyboard, editors... - is imperfect and inefficient, and prevents us from expressing our thoughts in code freely.
