Cool! To be fair, we've only implemented 7 opcodes out of ~150 so far. But thanks!

Yep, Starfighter was definitely the inspiration for this. It was super fun dusting off the cobwebs from my EE degree (over a decade ago for me too) and diving back into Assembly.

Shshshano's comment is technically correct - we treat our dev branch as master - or at least how I've always treated master. It's the most up-to-date and production-ready branch. Our git strategy can be summed up with: - Comm

Good points in there. It might be that our personalities on our small team lend well to pairing and it might not scale out as we grow the team. I would say though that it feels like we have even better visibility into new discoveries/s

Yeah, it definitely isn't for everyone. I also love getting into the zone too, but also enjoy pairing. The most rewarding part of pairing for me is probably the learning/teaching dynamic.

Yeah, so sorry! We modified an existing theme and haven't had the chance to fix that yet. We'll be taking care of that in the coming days!

Another cool way to cover your bases is to run monte carlo simulations. At my previous employer, we open sourced a command line utility that we used to validate our statistical models if anyone's interested: https://github.c

I got my current gig at Monetate in December 2013 after seeing a post on Who's Hiring November 2013. It turns out we've hired 7 our ~20 software engineers like this over the last few years.

Well, I've started on a landing page for an email course. It's pretty rough around the edges, but I suppose I could take this opportunity to solicit feedback. ;) I would also be thrilled to get my first signup. :) http:/&#x2

Cool stuff. @brynary, how do you organize your app? Are all seven techniques dumped into app/models or do you keep each technique in its own directory?
