Great stream fellas! I'm glad you guys are keeping on a week-to-week project. This could be a very powerful tool for your streams in the future. So many streams and tutorials are one-off examples. Something more long term could help flesh out certain topics you've been covering to help others see more of "why" a solution might be a good idea, rather than "how" to do it as so many other things out there do. Even if they aren't mega longterm projects, 2-4 week simple things like this are still informative for less experienced people to get their teeth into more advanced "unknown unknowns".

It was not a coincidence that I stumbled across this video. The 5th dimensional github gods manifested this experience in my subconscious psyche to steer me into being a humbled and enlightened github user now.

This was an immensely helpful stream! Designing for change is something that's always given me headache.

Jason's part about the psychology of unit tests was really enlightening.
I've always been struggling with old classes and methods of mine that I'm not entirely sure they're working correctly all the time. So I always have to keep in mind they might not be reliable and I probably need to come back to them eventually. And as Jason say, that clutters up my memory space and makes me feel uncomfortable with my coding. So I'll take you guys' advice and will get into unit testing.
