FreeCAD shows promise as an alternative way to design, though with its own set of quirks..

Just some notes from a visit and tests of FreeCAD. Richard Jørgensen

This is the most interesting read about concurrency I've run across in quite a while. I have a fascination with language design features that make the code easier to understand and at the same time help the compiler. The lengths they took this to is inspiring for this of us currently work with decades-old languages. http://joeduffyblog.com/2015/11/19/asynchronous-everything/

Finally got to use one of my pieces of loot from the Spielwiesn:

In line with the mad scientist theme of our Christmas party, I invented a new drink: gin-gingerale-and-tonic. I don't care that much for gin-and-tonic, but the ginger ale cuts the bitterness nicely and gives it a bit of color. was going to call it Drunkenstein's Monster or something, but I like the gingin part.

I agree about 90% with this. I believe he underestimates the costs of maintaining tests (not to say they're not worth it, but they're not as free to maintain as he would have it), and he underestimates the benefits of good static analysis. But overall, very good advice. Carl-Eric Menzel​ notice how he advocates a monorepo and branches at the same time. http://www.drmaciver.com/2016/10/some-things-that-might-help-you-write-better-software/
