  1. @beb0s But ptrdiff_t is only defined for two pointers to elements of the same array, so I still don't think your assertion works in general. about 1 hour ago from web in reply to beb0s
  2. RT @dagda1: It will always be tempting to make things more interesting by using a new framework or a new tool. Not sure if this can be ... about 2 hours ago from web
  3. Uhhh... OK. Cool. Why not? RT @lobrien: Turing Machine made from Legos: http://bit.ly/oJoO4 3:59 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
  4. When replacing legacy code, replicating the old behaviour is often more important than producing the "correct" behaviour. 2:19 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
  5. A nice way to generate test data: "capture what production code does, and regress against that once it looks good" http://bit.ly/8KnVmj 2:17 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
  6. @GlennHalstead Very nice. My first computer was the US equivalent -- TRS-80 Color Computer (which had the same CPU). 9:49 AM Nov 28th from web in reply to GlennHalstead
  7. @Ben_Hall @serialseb is right. But you knew he would say that, didn't you? 1:03 PM Nov 23rd from TweetDeck in reply to Ben_Hall
  8. @christensena TDD results more regression tests. I think this is important, and not to be dismissed. I'm done now. Thanks for the feedback. 9:06 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck in reply to christensena
  9. @christensena I could add Red-Green-Refactor to the list, but to me it's just a super-disciplined application of YAGNI.... 8:59 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck in reply to christensena
  10. @christensena TDD = good tests + YAGNI + DRY. (and there's a lot to learn about all 3) Do you think I'm missing any big pieces here? 7:27 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck in reply to christensena
  11. If your TDD style doesn't leave you with a good set of regression tests when you're done, I think you're doing it wrong. 7:05 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
  12. . @christensena ...in unit tests. I'm just saying this is TESTING. It's even BETTER testing than writing tests as an afterthought. 7:03 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
  13. . @christensena I'm agreeing with TDD/BDD approach. In particular, I agree that good designs flow out of specifying system behaviour ... 7:00 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
  14. My thought is that people who do TDD right are in fact testing as they go. Thus my frustration with the idea that "it's not about testing". 4:50 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
  15. . @christensena If your design technique ignores correct behaviour (i.e "testing"), I would say you're doing something fundamentally wrong. 4:48 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
  16. . @christensena If the design doesn't account for the correct behaviour of the system, it's not a good design... 4:45 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
  17. I'm getting tired of the "TDD isn't about testing" mantra. If TDD isn't about testing, when do you write tests? 3:39 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
  18. @selsley Lots of ways to use twitter. I don't use it for "work". But I do use it to keep up with what others in my profession are up to. 3:26 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
