That's hard. My only advice when working in a stifling, corporate environment is to find out what your education budget is and then use it for the kind of learning I was referring to in the article. (If you don't have an education

Did you see this helpful link: https://littlegreenviper.com/testing-harness-vs-unit/ . According to that usage of "test harness", it's not the same as a unit test. It's a way of driving code manually

I take your point as I'm retired. But I had my previous working life squarely in mind when writing the post. "Sustainable pace" helps, which in my case came down to 37 hour working weeks, not working at weekends, and taking a

I like that. There are other ways of capturing work in progress adjacent to the code, instead of writing a journal. One of my favourites is to write a failing test - pretty much impossible to overlook or misunderstand on "re-entry&quot

That was one of the points of the new repo. A plain text version of the file is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.tx... The other point was to make this community maintained rather than rely on

The underlying technology, https://gource.io/ , has probably been mentioned here before, but it's a superb tool which produces beautiful animations, so deserves another airing.

These days there are several aspects of software development that we take for granted. Perhaps we don't know how we'd manage without them. But it wasn't always that way.

I provide a dependency diagram so students can work out where to apply most effort and how to catch up if they miss something. I also show likely dependencies from the course assessment to the various topics. For instance, there is a strong
