.@trek didn't @KentBeck say that SUnit (begat JUnit, begat…) began as a way to automatically check examples created in Smalltalk workspaces?

.@trek I still run into people who imagine that if they used the modern equivalent of Hungarian notation, they wouldn't need to test.

@Vaguery @trek when I was a CS student there were people claiming that compilers could verify code correctness, completeness.

@twbrandt these were called non-readers of computer science? :) @vaguery @trek

@RonJeffries @twbrandt @trek The illusion that code is ideal, and is some reflection of a Higher Truth, runs very deep in our culture.

@vaguery well then our culture is composed primarily of idiots @twbrandt @trek

@trek @djbender And instead of dev driven by repeated pass/fail, it's driven by growing desperation & breaks of things that used to work.

@trek @bitprophet if only TDD tools were as easy as opening a browser/REPL
