I wanted to continue with some of my diary entries which relate to programming. I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote this one here dated the 8th of August of 2005:
A coworker moved on to greener code, before his last day we had a lot of knowledge transfer sessions. This guy was the process guy and a stickler for maintaining JUnit tests. During one of the knowledge transer sessions he said, “Testing saved my butt. I test often because I’m not that good of a developer.” I have to agree with his statement, testing saves your butt. Because he test so much he is a better developer. JUnit makes better developer out of us all. Do it early, do it often, like making love. If only sex had a green bar at the end to indicate your success! He also asked of all of us staying behind, “If you can’t write the unit test for the thing you are doing, how do you know what you are doing?” Again, like having sex! If you don’t have a JUnit for it, I don’t think you know what you are doing!
