I think. Nested contexts of todo-lists are hard.

Clare SudberyHow can you use code coverage and mutation testing to add tests to legacy code?

Karsten SchmidtIn recent years every spring seems to turn into a period of _massive_ refactoring & restructuring in <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThingUmbrella</a> — maybe it's a form of spring cleaning, even though the reasons[1] are not seasonal...

Currently over 3000 source files with uncommitted changes... aaaarrrgghh! 🤯Most functions (vector operations) in this package exist in multiple versions (many code generated, but now in need to be updated): Generic n-dimensional, loop-free, optimized 2D/3D/4D versions and strided versions for manipulating vectors views of larger nD data buffers (supporting all kinds of data layouts, incl.
