    Never, ever test your code, that way you have more time to write rubbish!

      You can't be sure enough that you're properly utilizing dynamic multidisciplinary channels to authoritatively cloudify end-to-end imperatives. Just saying.

      I think we'd better run that up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it.

              Whenever I am bored doing programming, I ask myself, why can't the computer do this, which has led to some interesting tools over the years. I still don't see why we don't have tools that generate the unit tests for us. I mean, it really isn't that hard if we were only to apply ourselves to the problem. Marc

                Funny thing is, I don't even know what "_Unit tests_" are. :laugh: I did go to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit\_testing) to learn something... Ended up yawning! :zzz: There was no challenge, just boring text... _[Lorem ipsum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem\_ipsum)_ sounds better than that.

                                  No, I haven't tried it.  I've been building my unit tests manually so far.  Admittedly, I don't test every method and property - just (what I deem to be) points of failure. /ravi

                                    Thanks for the link. It's always useful to read a different perspective on an important subject.

                                    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                                      No, the most boring activity a developer can be involved in is a four hour meeting you have to attend, of which the last five minutes are relevant to your job. If you are lucky. And then ***someone*** will say "oh, just one other thing..." And that'll add another hour or two.
