Comment this is just a storm in a teacup to me (Score 1) 53

This looks to be a continuation of SomethingAwful and Chan content being stolen/reused/updated/etc. for purposes that were not originally intended or considered. What's the difference here?

There's nothing special about /r/NoSleep as far as this phenomenon is concerned, I think. I expect anything with a critical mass of readership can end up being used for *something*.

Better yet, write tests that explicitly state and test what your software is supposed to do.

Write them before you write the code that implements them, if at all possible. If you can't, the 'supposed to do' part in the first sentence is all the more important. Don't test what the code *does*, test what it's *supposed to do*.

Comments are lies waiting to happen, and the computer can't tell you when they're wrong. Failing tests will tell you your system is not working the way it's supposed to.
