Woah, man. Woah.
I think you're missing the primary benefit here, which is that he avoids regressions. By the time you are adding feature 256, you have 255 features which are going to possibly be affected by the code changes you introduce. This is a huge part of software engineering, and one that has gotten lots of attention over the years.
The process you describe for your development sounds extremely tedious, but probably won't break down until month 2 of development on a team of one. Once you reach a level of complexity beyond this, that's where automated testing proves it's salt.
The style of testing you're describing is commonly referred to as integration testing or acceptance testing, because it is designed to test the full stack in harmony. There are a number of great frameworks out there to help you do this. Cucumber is the one that's gotten the most love in the circles I am familiar with. You can write your steps in python or javascript, so don't worry that it's written in Ruby.
The typical thing to do once you've started doing automated testing is to actually *write your tests first*, watch them fail, then write the code to make the test pass. This forces you to ensure you have good test coverage (every feature is tested) and has been shown to result in better designed systems.
You have tons of reading to do if you want to learn more about this, but hit me up if you want a basic rundown. | null | 0 | 1315954689 | False | 0 | c2jo6sv | t3_kepcp | null | t1_c2jo6sv | t3_kepcp | null | 1427596593 | 31 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | jiiyag | null | >There are good reasons to accept the standard definition that 0^0 = 1, and no particularly good reasons to leave 0^0 undefined.
Why are you so insistent on there being just one way to do things? You're not leaving 0^0 undefined any more than you're setting 0^0=1. Rather, you're using different tools for different jobs.
Math has already settled this. Not every geometry is euclidean. Not all groups are integers. This is what we have axiom sets for.
There's no particularly good reason to be so invested in just one tool. Have a box, bring what you need, and get the job done. Sometimes it's useful for 0^0=0, sometimes 0^0=1, and some times 0^0 is undefined.
I'm beginning to think dubiously about your math education. A carpenter who thinks a hammer is better than a saw is a carpenter I would second-guess. Neither is better than the other. The carpenter just uses the best tool for the job and doesn't give it another thought.
A mathematician who thinks a definition is better than another definition is one I would squint at. Neither is better than the other. Just use what gets the job done.
You're not only wasting time ranking the axiom sets, but you're wasting time trying to convince others that a ranking system is a good idea and that your particular ranking system is a good one. Meanwhile, mathematicians are using whatever definition works for any given task. | null | 0 | 1315955014 | False | 0 | c2jo88s | t3_kbgvc | null | t1_c2jo88s | t1_c2jbahu | null | 1427596605 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | miserlou | null | Thank you for your insightful comment :)
But how can programmatic testing help with user experience? Humans aren't robots (yet), so I don't see how that can help with real world testing. It can make sure that the inputs and outputs are right, but, and this is going to sound painfully wishy-washy, it can't ever capture the _feel_ of the thing. (Not that it's a bad idea at all, just saying there is a benefit to human-testing that I don't think can be recreated by machine.)

True | cgibbard | null | Okay. I'll entertain this. Show me a real published mathematics paper in the last, say, 50 years, in which the author was motivated in some way to incidentally define 0^0 = 0.

I'm all for formalism and, yeah, at the end of the day, the universe doesn't have any opinion on which strings of symbols we consider true and which we consider false. But in a practical way, we also shouldn't be trying to waste each other's time with bad notation.
Sure, in some contexts where we have something that looks like exponentiation, I'll grant that 0^0 doesn't come up at all in the limited context of the document we're trying to write, and leaving it undefined in those cases won't change how expressive we are. But in some sense, the operation we're defining isn't really a generalisation of exponentiation if there's some analogue to 0 and yet we don't want 0^0 = 1 as well. I would argue in those cases that we'd be better off choosing some other notation for the function we're discussing. | null | 0 | 1315961252 | False | 0 | c2jozqt | t3_kbgvc | null | t1_c2jozqt | t1_c2jo88s | null | 1427596980 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

You're missing the point. I'm not invested on what conclusions you draw about what 0^0 is. I honestly don't care.
My issue with your posts is that you talk as if your answer is the definitive absolute answer, or some definitive absolute answer exists. As if there is some threshold of use such that if one tool drops below that threshold, it should be deleted from consciousnesses. You seem to legitimately care about the outcome of this discussion.
I don't find it interesting to have an opinion on this subject. This is what I was trying to convey with the carpenter analogy. I don't find it interesting to rank your tools as one better then the other in an absolute way. Some tools are better than others for some particular contexts, and some tools gather rust. But that ranking system itself is context sensitive.

True | cgibbard | null | Everything that can be said to exist in mathematics is defined by convention. This is hopefully unsurprising. In that sense, nothing is absolute, and I completely agree with you in that way.
There's still a matter of not being an unnecessarily confusing jerk when it comes to the conventions we choose though. That's why one convention can come out as better than another. There's no good reason to be confusing, and decide to do something completely different than everyone else with your definition of exponentiation. There's no reason to be unhelpful by leaving 0^0 undefined when there's a reasonable way to define it which doesn't hurt expressiveness of the language you're using at all.
