Ironic that your reply to a piece about strawmen is nothing but a strawman. Of course he is not meaning what you're saying, he's talking about context switching. If I have to wait 15 seconds for my tests to run, I start doing something else and my thought process around the problem is gone.
- sync 13y agoI don't understand. Are you not continuing to think about the problem (or the next problem) while tests are running, regardless of how long they take?
- thetrb 13y agoIf you move on to the next problem, then your test finishes and forces you to move back to the original problem then you just had to do 2 context switches. If you never had to wait for the test result then you could have eliminated those.
