I have gotten *zero* responses to my 42 post: http://groups.google.com/group/leo-and-pylint/browse_thread/thread/3cf874d0b41eefab
I should have remembered that nobody reads long posts. So here is the Aha in a nutshell: Unit tests are not just for testing! They are *the* master tool for programming, design, testing, refactoring, studying code, or *anything else*. Think of a unit test as the root of a tree. The tree represents any task (including designs). The unit test *formalizes*, *automates* and *protects* the task or design. Expanding the notion of unit tests this way is a *stupendous* Aha. It has *totally altered* how I approach my work. For details, read the long post. Print it out, including the lengthy "reply". Study it. Respond. Please. Edward P.S. I expect three possible responses to this post, and the longer post: 1. Yeah, I knew that. Welcome to the club of highly effective programmers. 2. Wow! I didn't know that. This is going to change my life. 3. Huh? I have no idea what you are talking about. Your writing sucks. Can't you do a better job of explaining your ideas?
