          Apparently not. The Channel 9 team, in the comments below, say that they did ask him who the developer was off camera at the end of the interview. But they won't reveal who it was.

            Come on! Explain yourself. It is a bit cowardly to vote a one and not say why. I thought it contained some very interesting nuggests of advice and I thought it would be something people would find interesting and useful. If you don't agree with what was said in the video then fair enough - everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it would be certainly be interesting to have a discussion about it. Maybe there are some better ideas out there.

                  This does not deserve a 1. The underlying message of unit testing is a very good one. Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.

                    Are there written transcripts for those interviews or do you have to submit yourself to a tedious and noisy video every time? Matt Gerrans
