It's also toxic, corrosive, flammable and produced in large amounts as an expensive-to-treat by-product at petroleum refineries. Now, researchers have found an easy, profitable way to turn it into hydrogen.The current method for dealing with this stuff – an unavoidable waste product when you're refining oil or natural gas – is to heat it up with air to between 800-1,100 °C…

20 stories with 5 code smells each are 100 code smells, right? Previous Code Smells Let's continue... You don't own objects. TL;DR: don't use my as a name prefix. Lack of context Bijection Fault Remove my prefix. Change to a role suggesting name. Several old tutorials use the word 'my' as a lazy name. This is vague and lead to context mistakes.
