Before I read some of the study, I thought that was relevant too, but each "step [was] conducted as an independent, single-turn session."

> a human will DO worse then a 25% degradation As I was reading this article, a similar thought occurred to me: "I wonder if that's better or worse than a human?" Unfortunately, there was no human baseline in this study. T

I'm interested in hearing more details. You ever write blog articles that go into more depth?

I'm not hearing anything negative here. Why is any of this innately bad? Tests shaping your code is bad, because? Because you already have "enough constraints"? Sorry, I don't get it.

Maybe it's only difficult to test end-to-end? I would assume there's code in there that's algorithm-like. Give it these inputs, it should return these outputs. If so, it should be possible to isolate that code and test it.

I've used tons of programs that have problems and crash for various reasons. Is this an argument against the language? I don't think there'd be any left to use with this line of thinking. Besides, there's too many vari

I didn't build that. How are you so sure it would have less leaks if it were written in a language like C++? I'd bet it would be worse.

> write all of the tests before the code Everyone is interpreting this as, "write 10 tests then try to get them all to pass at once". That is not how you TDD. You write one, then get it to pass, then write another. Maybe you

That's not how you're supposed to do it. Write one test, get it to pass, repeat.

Could it be that people who are non-agreeable often switch careers when they butt heads with others and this switching gives them higher income than those who stay in one place and wait for promotions?

Actually it was an external recruiter. He was saying that all the programmers they've interacted with have never asked those questions.

I just assume it's common stock if I'm not a founder/exec. Is there a lower liquidation preference than that? I'll have to research what convertible notes are.

The last two companies I've gotten offers from gave me very, very heavy pushback when I tried to figure out what % of equity they were giving me. They told me they were giving me 5,000 shares (for example). OK... 5,000 of how many? W

Why is that worse? Also, isn't that the 37Signals way?
