Why testing your code will not get you fired

If it works without tests, it works by accident.
– Brian Liles

Test All The F***in Time Brian Liles
Test All The F***in Time  is a passionate talk on testing by Brian Liles. Though the presentation was made on a Ruby conference (Ruby Hoedown 2008 to be exact), the principles he shares with the audience are very much applicable to anyone working on code.  You can view the full presentation here.

3 videos to get you started on your dreams

To The Crazy Ones
How many times have you told your friends you want to do something and all they say is “you’re crazy”? These people at one point in their lives were ridiculed and laughed at because of what they want to do. Today, we look up to them as our model, as our heroes.

Failure: Secret to Success
Thomas Edison is one of the most successful inventor of all time. There are many things we use today that are rooted in Edison’s original works. We can name at least one of his successful stories (e.g. light bulb) but I doubt if we remember any of his failures. Yet,  majority of his work and effort resulted in failures. However,  Thomas Edison is a firm believer of failure  as a requirement to success that he would often tell his colleagues that he did’nt fail – he just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Get Back Up
If you think your unlucky or the whole world is conspiring against you, then take a peek at Nick Vujicic’s life.  Afterwards, look into the mirror and ask yourself what you are going to do with your life.

If you can’t see the videos right now,  you can visit my website and watch these amazing stories here.
