Could it because of the way Chernobyl was handled? The USSR lost a lot of people cleaning up that mess.

I think it's hilarious (and typical) that the moral of the story is "I don't push without code reviews" not "I don't use bad words in test code."

Code reviews are about psychology. When you know your teammates are going to be reviewing your code, you write it differently than you do when you know no one but you will ever look at it. Static analysis and regression tests are tools to m

I hated their customer support. I had to call it more than I usually do for a company, and every time, after they fixed the issue, they tried to sell me something. Not a simple little 'no thanks' they tried hard to sell me somet

Get real. Linux needs a better user experience to explode. The amount of work needed to get even a 'user friendly' distro like Ubuntu up and running is ridiculous when compared to getting OS X and Windows in the same state. Simple

> In fact it only gets in your way. Solving problems that are new (to you) involves writing code to find out if a certain approach works, then throwing it away and trying something else. TDD makes that process a lot slower, and makes peo

The fact that when this blog post says TDD, it means "writing unit tests" is really annoying. TDD is a methodology of writing features by writing tests first to define the behavior you're targeting, then writing code to match
