Yes, I focus on my per-file runtime in the post, and I mention David's suite runtime in one sentence at the beginning. They are not meant to be compared. David's file runtime is four seconds. This is unacceptable to me. This is unacceptable to other people who replied to your tweets. This would double the length of my high-speed TDD loop, which would make those portions of my TDD process take twice as long.
Yes, it would've been clearer for me to specifically address both suite runtimes and both unit runtimes. You know what else would've been clearer? All of the 2,000 words or so that I deleted from that post while I was editing it down into its final form. This is just how writing works. I don't think that it's misleading as written.
Of course, I've already told you, on Twitter, exactly my reasons for rejecting both four-minute suites and four-second test files. They're not in the post, but you know the reasons. You know that I wasn't selectively attacking a subset of his argument, because you know that I do have an answer for test file runtime. And yet, for some reason, here we are!
(For anyone reading this later, the tweets in question are gone. Lately I've been deleting all replies, as well as trivial non-replies, for Reasons.)
