Your mileage may vary.

BTW, is 10,000 hours not considered pseudoscience?

This is why things like Rocket Money exist-which itself is hard to cancel.
I've had repeated issues using Fortnite gift cards, some I bought myself. Zero help from Epic. I bet others have as well.

So many good memories, the simplicity of this player was wonderful. I made a skin for sure, but I don't think I ever submitted it.

Do you disagree with the subtext here?

Be a Man. Or even better, be a tough Russian.

Toughen up, right? That’s the message subtext here.

As someone who has been diagnosed with Celiac and who has a Celiac child I find this dismissive additude OFFENSIVE.

I don’t know anything about Russian or Asian Celiac rates of occurance, but I bet they aren’t that much different than the US. The only difference being awareness and diagnosis.

If dynamic refactoring so easy they were doing it 30 years ago, but one of the best IDE makers in the world can't generalize it for the masses today, doesn't that tell you something?

I agree with this point. You are using a more flexible stubbing framework and THAT is what the point of this post should be about. The rest is just semantics.

My questions with TDD always come with the refactoring.

Why not just use Crucible if you are running a small startup? There license cost is $10 right now, and it has a lot of niceties. http://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/
