There's an emotional aspect too. Keeping a positive aspect keeps up flow, and seeing tests go from failing to passing feels really good. Making a change you're not completely confident in and seeing tests start failing immediately is also quite nice .. you immediately feel how close to correct the change in question is, and if it's worth fixing up or is leading you the wrong direction and should be reverted allowing you to take another stab at it. -jeff _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
