Ncrunch is by far and away the best tool I use for .net development. As ubiquitous as resharper, and light years ahead of jetbrains’ continous testing. I can’t believe this is only hitting hacker news now. TDDing is a dream with ncrunch.

This is cruel, they never said it's a child they don't want.

Haha. That was my first thought too. This is in desperate need of an easter egg where you get to go on a gold run!

I really like the twipe straight up from '123' through '.' to ' ' but it feels like an implementation mistake not to consider that action a space after a dot which is supposed to return the keyboard to ABC. Instead it stays on 123.

I agree and did exactly the same. Also it describes twipe but the animation shows it typed.

I've never heard anyone say that.

I probably have, without particularly prioritising it. Ok, perhaps I should have said "overly caring about performance". Of course I have used built in functions in languages that take advantage of this when searching or sorting - but no, I can't remember a time when I had to get into the nitty gritty of low level performance enhancement, unless it was in a coding challenge of course.

I’ve spent the last 20 years not caring about performance. Not once has performance ever been a real issue on any project I’ve been on. Imagine how much time I could have wasted prematurely optimising.

Do you have any evidence to back that statement up?

Don’t be silly, you are honest and ethical and that counts for a lot more!

I looked up Kallax (those room dividers that take those cubish boxes) and stuva (the wardrobes) and neither were on the list :(

Probably the articles you've read and evangelists you've listened to were biased but it would seem your believe system is jaded by the fact that the one person you think would be suited to pair programming is what you'd call a mediocre programmer. That's fine, but don't you think that is a little closed minded? You're evectively saying that you think the majority of pair programmers are just mediocre and aren't trying hard enough to solve problems on their own.

Forgetting the social side of things and forgetting the typing or the bugs, you must be be able to agree that two heads on one problem is better than one? Having another person to brainstorm some solutions to a problem with is faster and often gets a better solution that either of you would come up with alone?

Cheers - definitely not 45 minutes when they say 45 minutes either are they! Plus you probably have two or three on the go at the same time.
