US is not the cause of the problems in the Middle East. It has interests in the Middle East. The problems in the region were created by the people inhabiting the region. If anything, US foreign politics sometimes come as detached from

Why not? Some companies do try this. It rarely succeeds though. The reason is that re-education en-masse, restructuring of the chain of command, re-allocation of resources are hard. Most businesses at some point enter the phase where th

Pretty sure the farmer who spooked us knew how to do that too. It's just an example of how someone who, even though had some experience with the tool, still didn't know how to use it in a novel context.

Article doesn't say that documentation is unit tests, it says that unit tests are documentation. It never claimed there aren't any other means to document your code.

You are confused between "if" and "if and only if": "Tests are documentation" doesn't imply "documentation is tests". There are many useful tools that are documentation, none of them has to be e

Often times matching input to output is already enough of a clue for the reader to understand the purpose of the functionality being tested. Often the code being tested is hard to use at all unless an example input is shown to the user. T
