Refactoring problems

Refactoring without unit tests is a lot like playing that game where you splay your fingers out on a table and then stab the spaces between the fingers as fast as you can with a really sharp knife in your other hand.

Writing unit tests for one-off scripts isn’t really worth the effort.

Refactoring one-off scripts pretty much sucks, regardless.

The right password always helps

So I spent a lot of time with the iPhone WordPress app trying to connect it with this blog and was never successful. Turns out that I’d never “modernized” the password for this account so was using one I used to use when I first went back to WordPress seven years ago. Never bothered to check that when trying to set up the iPhone version of this app.

Feeling pretty dumb.
