Refactoring fun:

    How would you write Scheduler._dynOrder() in the following?

Someone is uncomfortable with tdd doing away with design,
that emergent design will not always lead to optimal results.
Some things just can not be done by committees (or pairs).

Is Design Dead?
https://martinfowler.com/articles/designDead.html

I remembered that there was an article about using C++ in embedded
applications. It talked about using the things that cause no trouble,
and avoiding the things that do cause trouble. I thought it was in
Embedded Systems Journal in the mid 2000s and was by Dan Saks. Since he
gave a presentation at Columbus Code Camp a few years about about
measuring readability of coding styles, I have been looking for that
article. I have not found it, but I have found something similar.

turnoffs:
    strong code smell:
        for example, study Finder._order() in
        https://github.com/dae/anki/blob/bd414595de971ac29b54d521d734140eee7d80ee/anki/find.py
    yet refactoring not welcome:
        See https://github.com/dae/anki/blob/bd414595de971ac29b54d521d734140eee7d80ee/README.contributing
    licensing:
        contributors must license changes with BSD license,
        even though code is GNU AGPL, version 3 or later
            is that for dual licensing for private benefit of Damien?

I wonder how Mnemosyne and OpenCards compare.
