How old is the author I wonder? Did he not play Wizardry or any other similar game back in the 80s/90s, which implemented exactly this kind of gameplay? Wizardry 7 had so much - good quality - text in it (probably enough to fill a boo

Hyperloop? A concept for which not even one single working prototype exists? And even if there was a prototype- who would pay for this? Dream on. Why not fix the train instead - you know, in some other parts of the world the high speed trai

Whenever I try to understand a program, I do draw structures of it. But it is NEVER the structure of the source code as is, but some parts the main flow with the unimportant bits left out (what is unimportant depends on the goal of the task

I know it is not a fair comparison, but modern IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA do pretty much everything demonstrated in this video. They build a database of the project, and let you do refactoring with the help of that. The only thing that is n

Beware that TDD is not testing. TDD is a development process which involves some form of testing, but you can do development and testing without doing TDD. TDD is all the hype these days, but there are some who are very skeptical about it.
