I've heard people say TDD automatically creates good designs. More recently, I've heard David Hansson say it creates design damage. Who's right? "Neither. TDD doesn't create design. You do."

Quote: The TDD cycle is very detail-oriented and requires you to make some design decisions when writing tests
In other words, your design is focused more on testability than on usability, correctness or elegance. This can create bad designs.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Is programming a young person's game, with developers doomed to obsolescence as they grow older? Not if an organization keeps them fresh. Try these three strategies. "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill."

Documents show how our forces are prepared to deal with outer space zombies, engineered zombies and many other forms. These preparations are for training purposes only. Well, officially. Someone needs braaaaaaaains

"No one has disproved the existence of zombies yet"
Yet the same argument that if you can't disprove the existence of something it means that it has to exist...
And the "they don't make movies out of fantasies, do they?" is so naive.
That must be a scam.

It says in the article they needed a stand in for regular people - they couldn't use a real nation or people group without getting everyone upset.
They'll do a find/replace of 'zombie' with 'cpian' one day.

Not at all. It's a training exercise in adaptive strategy.
The point is not that a zombie apocalypse may happen, it's about analyzing the situation and find a strategy that will lead to the best possible outcome; regardless of how weird or hopeless the situation may be.

In Level 1.03;
I'm pretty sure that for value of x=33;
return x^2;
should equal the expected answer 1089 and not the 35 it thinks it returns 
It wants the answer as;
return x*x;
I've been a fool....ignore

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
|
|

Actually the result is correct; in C# ^ is the XOR operator, what you should've used it Math.Pow. Also just to explan 33 is 100001 in binary, which XOR'ed with 000010 results in 100011 = 35.

Just goes to show that I'm so at home using '^' for power has let me down here........my bad.
I've taken myself outside and given me a good talking to. 
Have a +5 for highlighting my stupidity.
