  • in Austin, TX for the weekend visiting my in-laws...gotta do some tech support for my FIL as well.
  • @CalebJenkins: I think Trudy's in Austin skews that statistic big time...
  • @dpenton: agreed there's always value as it forces SRP and SoC. Dependencies always get abstracted out when unit testing is enforced too.
  • @dpenton: unit testing has value when reqs come from biz analysts. If devs/former devs are involved, reqs get more attention/thought.
  • @jbogard: Common scenario I've seen is when properties have an Enum that does a straight type mapping to the DB. Not a flexible design.

Hanselman's Twittering for Diabetes

Scott Hanselman, noted developer and blogger, recently twittered his blood sugar checks in order to raise awareness of Diabetes. The full transcript of his twitters is now available on his site and it is definitely worth the read to see what an active diabetic goes through on a daily basis.

My paternal grandparents both have Type II Diabetes so I've had a mild glimpse of what diabetes care involves. But for a person with Type I Diabetes, like Scott, the monitoring and adjusting of blood sugar levels becomes much more frequent.  Scott's twittering certainly opened my eyes to the urgency of his cause and I certainly want to do my part to help!
