I'm very suspicious of these studies: not one of them I've seen has a control group with their hands tied behind their backs.

Not the insecticide, but "Development Driven Testing", as opposed to TDD. It's what I've been doing for over a week now to please the people high up (or the client or whoever).
As you know, the usual practice is to write the test first and then do the implementation, but since no tests were written and the contract says we have to unit test the thing, I'm stuck with writing tests *after* everything is implemented. For other peoples code, written with no testing in mind. In C. ******g pointless waste of time.

Until the code needs maintenance (or refactoring) - then you'll be glad you have "I didn't break something else" tests in place?

I meant it should have been done the other way round, that would have saved so much time.

You could always delete the code, write all the tests, then write new code to pass the tests..
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

And be responsible for everybody's bugs. Yes, I like that. I'm going to dedicate my weekend to that.

When you see code in the project like
if (unitTesting)
{
...
}
else
{
...
}
it is officially time to jump ship.

Sometimes it is worse
#if defined UNIT_TEST
...
#else
...
#endif

Just be happy that flowcharts went out of fashion. We used to have to do a flowchart before writing any code and then, theoretically, update them with any changes afterwards. I wrote a program that generated said flowchart from the code - it saved a lot of time!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

DDT also stands for a very good Russian Rock band.
I highly recommend them for either calming your nerves or breaking something.
I don't know what the videos are like(am at work) so possibly NSFW, but the music is fantastic.

Firstly, it's in Stralia so no worries.
Secondly, what in the name of civilized society are you doing reading that site? Last I heard Max Mowsley described it as too right wing for his tastes.

Interesting how the internet is employed to beat things up. This would attract minimal interest in Oz - in fact many people regard their resident Huntsman spider as good luck. As far as tourists go we are happy that arachnophobes, crocodyliphobes and herpetophobes stay at home.

Considering that "Worldwide rates of either HSV-1 or HSV-2 are between 60% and 95% in adults" (Wikipedia) it may be.

To quote the article "It is a wolf spider which is poisonous but not lethal".
Well that's a good thing I was not planning on eating it, however I think I will pet it.
