A recent Waterloo grad myself, this goes against what I've heard from my peer group. (Most consider it to be a blessing alone) I also think many of the downsides listed in this article have little to do with co-op. Here's a summar

Run their code via unit tests. We've assumed if you've written a unit test for a function, the state will be taken care of.

FWIW a friend and myself were very inspired by Light Table, Chris Granger and Brett Victor. We've been working on applying these ideas to C#. We've built http://codeconnect.io for a function-by-function view of C# code

That seems like a huge disadvantage to me. The bottle neck in any software project (> 1 person) is usually the time it takes to read and understand source code. Some estimates[1] claim that up to 78% of development time is spent just rea

That's actually just a clone of the codeplex project. As mentioned in the README contributions first go (went?) through codeplex.

We're using it at Code Connect ( http://codeconnect.io ). We build a plugin for Visual Studio, so there's not exactly a lot of choice. :) Personally, I've always enjoyed C#, so it's been a pretty positive exper

Absolutely. The final decision makers at other accelerators were often non-technical and (understandably) did not immediately see the value in developer tools. Thankfully, companies like Jetbrains, Github and Light Table have made a lot of

Very cool to see this list expanded. My own personal interest lies in programmer tools and their inevitable evolution, so it's great to see them listed on there. A few of the accelerators I'd applied to in the past don't see
