constantly rewrite both the code and tests as you better understand how you’re going to solve the task while trying

The tests should be decoupled from the "how" though. It's obviously not possible to completely decouple them, but if you're "constantly" rewriting, something is going wrong.

Brilliant talk on that topic (with slight audio problems): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ05e7EMOLM

"Word templates led people to use the same formatting in communications, and eventually, this has become instantiated as a norm," says Gloria Mark, a professor of informatics at the University of California, Irvine, where she studies human-computer interaction. If you work in finance, there's a specific way reports are expected to be laid out. Letters follow a set pattern, memos are largely formatted in the same way. "Users know where to find information in these standardised documents; they don’t need to spend time trying to find what they need."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least Germany seems to have standards for this since 1949, so I doubt this can be contributed to Microsoft (alone).

Bold of him to assume that companies would not just publish the trash - and that people would not watch it anyway.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,

that was a poem from a simpler time.

Boss makes a dollar, we don't make jack,

that's why we fight to take the means back!

I love how it recommends paying Netflix, Disney etc. but does not mention libraries at all.

Germany for example. Your source that no consent is required (with exceptions) is kinda wrong on this. It's more of a "it really depends" kind of situation, and people might even have the right to defend themselves if you take pictures of them illegally. German source

The article doesn't say it's a new theory. It's about a new study that shows that non-carbon based life might be more common than previoulsy thought:

"It was thought that these sorts of reactions are very rare," Kaçar said in a statement. "We are showing that it's actually far from rare. You just need to look in the right place."

Where in the article does it say that this is about male doctors?

Two new files wouldn't create a merge conflict though (unless they have the same name)?
