It can even be made into a game where you have to earn the gossip.

Have them meet at a tavern, someone at the tavern knows them and can give all of the gossip.

We still say Yule (spelled Jul) where I'm from. No need to cater to religion

That's not a desk though

But that argument would go for temperature as well. Yet, here we are with the most commonly used ones having zero as wey more than the "nothing"-level.

Using the same base for regular numbers and for measurements is the most useful, no? We happen to use base 10. That's going to be hard to change, but sure, it would have been better to choose a more divisable number, maybe 12.

This doesn't make sense because they have the monopoly on video now. By monetizing a bit they are creating a a huge demand for a competitor, risking their monopoly.

That leads to focusing on the nitty gritty details first, building a library of thing you think you might need and you forget to think about the whole solution.

If you come up with another solution half way through, you will probably throw away half of the code you already built.

I see TDD as going depth first whereas I prefer to go breadth first. Try out a solution and skip the details (by mocking or assuming things). Once you have settled on the right solution you can fill in the details.

Right,too much coverage is also a bad thing. It leads to having to work on the silly tests every time you change som implementation detail.

Good tests let the insides of the unit change without breaking, as long as the behave the same to the outside world.
