Before I read some of the study, I thought that was relevant too, but each "step [was] conducted as an independent, single-turn session."

> a human will DO worse then a 25% degradation As I was reading this article, a similar thought occurred to me: "I wonder if that's better or worse than a human?" Unfortunately, th…

I'm interested in hearing more details. You ever write blog articles that go into more depth?

> Given that you've at minimum doubled the code (and doubled the bugs), it seems like a really bad long-term trade off. I'd say you've at maximum doubled the code. The test ensures…

I'm not hearing anything negative here. Why is any of this innately bad? Tests shaping your code is bad, because? Because you already have "enough constraints"? Sorry, I don't get …

Maybe it's only difficult to test end-to-end? I would assume there's code in there that's algorithm-like. Give it these inputs, it should return these outputs. If so, it should be …

I've used tons of programs that have problems and crash for various reasons. Is this an argument against the language? I don't think there'd be any left to use with this line of th…

I didn't build that. How are you so sure it would have less leaks if it were written in a language like C++? I'd bet it would be worse.

> Why does this matter? It matters for the exact same reason why memory leaks are bad in general: They consume more memory than necessary. Thing is, this doesn't usually matter. I …

> Place your test files next to the implementation. Java background is probably biasing me, but I don't like this. It interferes with my ability to find code because the file list …

> write all of the tests before the code Everyone is interpreting this as, "write 10 tests then try to get them all to pass at once". That is not how you TDD. You write one, then g…

> TDD is for unit tests Never heard anyone say this. Kent Beck has said the opposite on podcasts.

That's not how you're supposed to do it. Write one test, get it to pass, repeat.

> Software, as an industry, generally profits the most when it can identify an existing need that is currently solved without computers, and then make it 10x+ more efficient by app…

> Either you failed your organization on the hiring front and have terrible engineers (unlikely) What makes you say that is unlikely?

> Always refuse if someone asks you to sign an NDA before hearing their idea I hear this a lot. What's the reasoning?

This is probably misunderstanding the demographic, but why does he suggest using nano over vim?

Could it be that people who are non-agreeable often switch careers when they butt heads with others and this switching gives them higher income than those who stay in one place and…
