  1. @KentBeck Thanks. :) I think this is a useful experience. It's definitely making me think about how I communicate with others!
  2. This TDD blog post fiasco has brought out levels of civility in the face of hostility that I didn't know I possessed.
  3. @nedbat I had no idea that branch coverage was forthcoming. This is wonderful news! I can't wait to try it. Thank you!
  4. @JonKernPA @dastels @coreyhaines My original blog post wasn't trying to evangelize; just demystify for novices. :)
  5. @coreyhaines @grossberg Yeah, I liked that one a lot. The comments weren't all bad. :)
  6. @kaleidic Several hours of pairing? People just don't seem to believe it works until they see it. :(
  7. @nateklaiber I tried to respond civilly. It was difficult. http://bit.ly/3x32CP
  8. Also, see the Reddit comments about that post for this gem: "That was gross. I hope it was satire because it was fucking stupid."
  9. Want to piss off the cowboy programmers of the world? Vote my "How I Started TDD" post up on Reddit. :) http://bit.ly/2AD9GS
  10. @mcantor I don't think most of them come back, though. They're random visitors from hacker news or places like that.
  11. @joefiorini Totally agree; it looks bad. Then again, PT is free, so it's not like there's a guy getting paid to edit copy. :)
  12. @patrickwelsh Really, It's not even experience that I want in a commenter. I want anything *except* the "hostile learner" personality. :)
  13. @patrickwelsh I'd love to have that discussion! It sounds like you have some ideas. :)
  14. @joefiorini It seems like writer mistook "GTD" for a general concept (just "getting things done") rather than a specific method?
  15. @patrickwelsh Ha! Would that it were possible. :)
  16. I may remove comments from my blog. I get really bummed by hostile-learner types who haven't done TDD claiming it doesn't work. Not helpful.
  17. I recently added basic inline/extract variable refactorings for vim to my dotfiles repo. http://bit.ly/27cZR0
  18. You can exclude certain commands from the hg pager plugin, but it's still annoying and user-hostile. :(
  19. The hg pager extension breaks the record extension. Damn it. That's one downside of a plugin-based system.
  20. @mcantor Awesome. This has been a pretty big hole in my vim knowledge.
