@afilina Which is insanely unfair.

I'm not saying I can imagine how it feels to be in your place. Just wanted to point out, you've grown as a result of these hardships. That's a good thing. That thought might help to feel less regret.

Of course, no one would ask for such lessons.

[Ákos Pfeff @akosPfeff]

@afilina The cost of learning can be painfully high, but you've learned something and paid for it.
Besides that you are a strong, independent woman with a lot of worth.
Hope you will be able to feel less crushed soon.

@jasongorman @marick Unrelated, but do I see it right, that test methods only contain the assertion? Is it the test class ctor above them containing the common arrange and act steps?

@harkin_jj @kieranheg @allenholub @ts_ignore A private method in a class is often just a misplaced public method of the class you didn't think to create yet.

@hillelogram *good, not hours

[Ákos Pfeff @akosPfeff]

@hillelogram This is not just a Python technique, but generally hours advice.

[Ákos Pfeff @akosPfeff]

@InnerJason @hillelogram Would you elaborate on what you (our rather they) consider gold plating?

[Ákos Pfeff @akosPfeff]

@marick @hillelogram Then I did understand you and we are in agreement.

I like the bet analogy.

This is seriously messing with my head: the Dunning-Kruger effect might not be real! I read all of the linked papers, and they make a convincing argument that it's more likely to be a statistical artifact than a psychological effect: https://t.co/uPUwUdMVdR

@MonkeyHal @tastapod Except if you cannot...

@marick @jholbo1 In Minecraft building, odd is considered to be good AFAIK. Easier to build with, looks better, I guess.

[Ákos Pfeff @akosPfeff]

@aahoogendoorn @tastapod Functional programming should be more deterministic.

Thanks, @okta

@marick @ploeh Seeing you two pair program a problem using PBT and TDD, or even just reading the transcript of such session would be interesting.

[Ákos Pfeff @akosPfeff]

Really good advice even for strongly typed languages.

[Ákos Pfeff @akosPfeff]

@afilina @allenholub I've read the whole Robots and Foundation universe in chronological order. It is an epic fictional history spanning hard to imagine distances in space and time. I'm still getting emotional just by thinking about it. Definitely recommended.

Primitive Obsession Detection:

when you see:
<primitive type> variablename;

See what methods the primitive type has which are not appropriate for the domain of variablename. What does type do that variable shouldn't?
