One of the difficulties with side projects (and it is something that CP were perhaps looking at back when they were looking at ::Workspaces) is that they tend to be solo runs, whereas the most productive and impactful learning tends to come from collaborative small groups.

I haven't really experienced that -- that sounds great, but my experience is that small groups tend to devolve to the lowest common denominator. At least, doing projects solo, I don't get divide by 0 errors.

Agreed that does happen - especially if the group is externally enforced/selected.
However I also find that a sounding board can help stop me going too far down a rabbit hole...I went way too far down one such when I was working on a data access library so am wary of this now.
Maybe I am the lowest common denominator - that would explain both our experiences

You can’t practice Test Driven Development on something that isn’t testable in the first place. Is that a test question?

Don't get all testy about it.

If a quiz is quizzical, then what is a test?

eh? You can't do test driven development at all if the thing you are going to test already exists...if it doesn't exist then when you make it you can make it testable.

If I can't be trusted to write code; why would you trust me to write tests?

That's amusing. I was just saying to a friend of mine this morning that I have to rip out a bunch of code because it's more a patchwork of patches than anything else at this point. And the first order of business would be to write it in such a way that it is unit-testable!

Hyperpolyglot is an awesome tool for looking up the differences and similarities between programming languages and tools. "I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because this is how we do it."
Yes, it's a Leslie, but seeing as how that was 2011, and only for a subset of these languages, sue me.

Especially since until a few months ago that product was known as VS2014. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
