When playing Captain Obvious (i.e. the human rubber duck) with other devs, every time they state something to be true my response is, "prove it!" It's amazing how quickly you find bugs when somebody else is making you questio

What makes you say that? I'm pretty sure it's one of the more heavily verified industries. If it wasn't, air travel would be much more dangerous.

Another barrier to replacement is that the existing software embodies a ton of domain-specific knowledge and handles many arcane exceptions. To replace it you would have to be an expert in that domain, which is a huge blocker for all but a

A structured approach would be able to easily do things like ignore when a symbol was renamed (since that wouldn't affect the tree structure). So there are good reasons for wanting to do it that way, vs. a line-based diff.

Too many ways to list here, and implementation details will depend on your hosting environment and other requirements. But my quick-and-dirty trick involves a single URL which, when visited, runs a script which appends "deny from foo&q

My cheap and dirty way of dealing with bots like that is to block any IP address that accesses any URLs in robots.txt. It's not a perfect strategy but it gives me pretty good results given the simplicity to implement.

I agree 100% with the section on documenting your system and code. It's sobering to consider how many HN posts about software development contain comments to the contrary, indicating that documentation (and heavily commenting your code
