I'm supposed to master an obscure language element, read through the source code of an open source project, refactor a method, run a static analysis tool, and do all the rest--all within six minutes?

I do like the idea for making hard-coded strings stand out, however.

I think the six minutes refer only to the amount of time it takes to read the article.

If anything, it did remind me to refactor some longish functions I had in a class I was working on.

Maybe he meant incrementally increase your coding abilities, you know, master a new keyword in 6 minutes, read the source code of an open source project in 6 minutes, run a static analysis tool in 6 minutes, ..., and write a compiler in 6 minutes.

I sense a new online tutorial coming on..."Six minute compilers."
