Well, no, TDD doesn't necessarily change the output of a programmer. Even if you require 100% test coverage on every commit (which isn't the point of TDD anyway), there's no way to tell if the tests were written first. It is a "design stand

If LayerVault made a mistake and apologized, sure. But one look at their twitter page & their response on designer news implies no apology is forthcoming. So, they are copyright trolls and bullies. They are not only running against the

I remember some enterprise java cache systems running into problems with an all-to-all communication model. It is a problem you can solve with hardware (second network as you mentioned), but can be a limiting factor for sure. 4,096 nodes me
