Re: Ledswinger

Dear Leds Winger,

Have you looked at the two course works the article is about?

Software development requires "good memories for arcane detail". Otherwise you'll miss a null pointer dereference or you won't free up memory and all that nice juicy stuff.. Also logical maths is not something you can take leaps across... missing a part of the logical computation normally implies that a piece of code is missing, and you derive the wrong result.

How would you propose to fix continuous examination? Just saying that we should do that is not quite good enough for a serious post about the subject... ;)

regards,

Guus
