Dave Dribin has some suggestions for improving Xcode’s support for unit testing. It’s much nicer in Xcode 3.2 than before, but it’s still complicated to setup and rather kludgy. Even with the dependencies setup correctly I often have to nuke the build folder to get it to work, and it’s awkward to switch between testing and debugging.
Sun calls ZFS “The Last Word in Filesystems,” but that is a lie. ZFS is on of the first widely deployed copy on write FSes. That certainly makes it a tremendous improvement over existing FSes, but pioneers are the ones with arrows in their back. By looking at ZFS’s development it is certainly possible to identify mistakes that they made, and ways to do things better if one were to start from scratch.
