The problem with writing as fast as possible, even if it's dirty (what I've nearly done) is when problems appear. Debugging take twice time than coding so : 1- you lost precious time and 2- you're not sure that you're patch locked all the problems. Well let's see for this future development, I'm looking for a good teaser idea ;) Thanks for the comment, and for the keep going message ;)

It changed from watching the financial crisis :-0 Interesting comment on writing test. This is totally counter intuitive to me ! I believe in tests to increase code quality, maintainability, and avoid recurring bugs. However I absolutely don't see this as a way to speed up development, I especially in a competition like this one. My mantra would be: write as fast and as dirty as possible, refactor when the competition is over :-) Looking forward to read on your experience with TDD !
