    Is that why you posted it back in December? I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

    I think part of the problem is with the difficulty of writing testable code. Eg. How would somebody write good tests if they don't understand dependency injection? You also get people who write functions that are hundreds of lines long and writing testable code would be difficult for them. jesarg wrote: If you had a code sergeant who enforces good unit tests with an iron fist, you could end up with a robust, uniform system, but most developers will screw up the whole test suite without realizing it. Would you have a happy and productive team though? Devs will often skip the tests when they are under pressure, and when they're under pressure they probably wouldn't appreciate criticism.

    Same joke, slightly different punchline[^] Most notable for my use of the word penis in the lounge without getting banned. Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

    Did you read the entire series? Grannies, Koalas, high jacked New York buses and sex dwarfs. Hot diggity, I like that story. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk.

    I would also like to point out that ChrisElston made a post about a "penis" and got down-voted to oblivion for that. Yet your post about anal sex gets all 5's so far. He has a way with words.

    You can get free pepperspray in your face. Did you know that in China your family has to pay for the bullets used in your execution? If they decide to kill you in the US, they do it free of charge! Giraffes are not real.
