It's to prevent catastrophic erosion to the property, at the expense of the beach. You build a house on the beach like a fool, then destroy the beach to protect your investment. Nature-loving people.

Thoughts of "a year later" and MVP mostly don't mix. Agreed about coverage.

> finding that same bug 2 minutes after you wrote it (and before it got released) is massively quicker. That's not realistic. Your last paragraph about overwork seems unrelated to TDD dogma.

First, great blog post. > The net result is data consistency across components/screens (which is great) You probably don't need to be told this, but... how badly was the data really going to drift during a session? If a user no

It's rather unlikely that an anon on social media (HN) is "the guy you're selling to." Possible, but there are so many other motivations for a critical comment. "The guy you're selling to" is tangible and

This topic is of great interest to me, do you know if there is any related official or community documentation on using arena allocation (and the problems you mentioned) in Rust? I've only found https://doc.rust-lang.org&#x2

Why is this downvoted? The submission title is idiotic. If a colleague asked me this, I'd want to find another job. It's something somebody fresh out of a "Boot Camp" would ask.

Well, it's a play on Caffeine.app's name. I'll make an ever better Mac force-wake program called Crack Binge.app, anyone who dislikes this name is a puritan Apple sycophant.

Also, if you drop a pin while zoomed out at all, you are going to look at a user's PhotoSphere, no questions. I've tested this at length, no degree of precision in your pin drop will avoid the PhotoSphere, it owns the pin drop reg
