[1:05:50][@insofaras][Would you agree that there is a similarity between test driven development and "writing the usage code first"?]
[1:06:32][@ChaiLatteQuinoa][Would you consider functional programming for game development?]

[1:08:55][@jfcatalan][Do you get Heisenbugs, where the bug happens only when there's not any debug code running?]

Cinera 0.7.0 Update Add output parameter to all of hero/code, hero/intro-to-c and hero/misc, preserving the current URLs while allowing different .hmml filenames, notably for hero/misc which now gets sorted chronologically.
