How to destroy the Earth →
The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you’ve had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.

Writing Great Unit Tests: Best and Worst Practices →
What’s the difference between a good unit test and a bad one? How do you learn how to write good unit tests? It’s far from obvious.
