An interesting take on similar technology is Vernor Vinge's _A Deepness in the Sky_.

You can run PICO-8 on a Raspberry Pi today. Still a "retro" feel, but they are all new games being written for the platform. https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3085

I think they were just using the source code as an example of the font since one of the most likely uses of this font is programming.
That's unfortunate. You missed out on an interesting article.
Another alternative that I have had good experience with is Mountebank - http://www.mbtest.org/

It doesn't have a nice GUI like this, but it is extremely flexible in the information you can match on for returning your mocked responses.

I enjoy pair programming on occasion, but I can imagine doing it all the time could be detrimental.

What are some of your specific complaints about NuGet? I've never disliked it that much. For the most part it has "just worked" for me.

Identifying programmers based on their style is different than assuming people with a certain style exhibit certain personality traits. Programmer A and Programmer B could have almost identical styles, but that doesn't mean they have similar personalities.

You could take a look at exercism.io. I just started the exercises on there yesterday so I don't have an informed opinion on whether they are good or not overall, but it might be what you're looking for.

I created one yesterday when this announcement was made. I had to upload my compiled binary, not source.

I've spent most of 2016 chipping away at the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Almost done!

Love it. One typo I noticed in the image section, "Graphics and icons can be used either as ornaments to support your content, or take actively part in the message you want to convey".
If you disagree with the contents of this bill, EFF supplies a helpful form for emailing your representatives to express those feelings.
