**Historical article** · Originally published March 24, 2009; technical details may be outdated.

Here are a couple of Conference T-Shirt ideas I had that I wanted to make:

- “Legalize unit testing”
- “I broke the build”
- “I Mock You”
- “I’m Mocking this”
- “I do B(eer)D(riven)D(evelopment)”
- “I fail first”
- “I fail early and often”
- “I like to reflect on private members”

got any more?
