Enjoying life after VSS. Next stop, Crucible… and then on to a possible replacement for CruiseControl (TeamCity or Bamboo).

1. Saving the World via… TDD? – Steve Harman posts the best TDD code sample ever. It not only demonstrates the context/specification style specs but also clearly proves that TDD is our only hope of preventing the machines that look suspiciously like the current California Governor from taking over the world.
