The first 5 tests were fine, the next five were awkward to pass and the 11th test required me to scrap the whole lot and make it new. Pure LOC is pretty much the same, just clean and it will just work as intended. http://ayende.com/4213/i-wrote-it-and-it-was-horrible#comment1http://ayende.com/4213/i-wrote-it-and-it-was-horrible#comment1Sat, 26 Sep 2009 05:47:24 GMT
