- Testing and refactoring is fun, but we're not paid for it
- Rotating Navigator -> too many ideas too fast, so we chose Jens for a while
- Felt more like pair programming with lots of people watching
- One early idea we didn't do: OO design for `Item`
- We only chose to stop and rethink because there was food
- A more complicated feature would have forced deeper refactoring
- Testing and refactoring helped us come up with the idea that worked
