Mini Musing #5: It Doesn’t Compile

I was having a nosey at the latest Pull Requests and there was one from Colin. Usually, there’s a good few mistakes in his code. The Lead Developer comments:

“Does this even compile”

To which Colin responds:

“No, lol”

He never learns. How many times does he have to make these mistakes to realise that: if you make a change, then test your changes? When there are unit tests, it’s a simple as clicking a button, then waiting a few seconds.
