There were some interesting posts .... something like compiled java was mentioned several times.

(but several posts got pretty abrasive .... makes me appreciate the
civility of this n.g.)

It didn't seem like the participants were particularly aware of dbc and unit-testing

In general, the less the participants know, and/or the younger they are, the more "interesting" and "lively" the discussions tend to become.

Often one can find really fresh ideas in such, but the signal to noise ratio (sadly) makes the threads unfollowable for grown-up and/or busy folks.

Hey, I'm 23 and don't raise that much hell. =P

Yeah, what can we do to raise the signal to noise ratio on the internet?  I could start by not posting this...
