Open Source but No License

I have posted some small projects of mine on GitHub, mainly so that prospective employers can appreciate my skills. I am not quite ready to truly open source them, so I published them under "No License".  This means that I remain the exclusive copyright holder of these creative works, and nobody else can use, copy, distribute, or modify them in any way, shape or form. More information here: choosealicense.com - "No License" (https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/).

Pretty much the only thing one can legally do with these creative works is view their source code and admire it.

GitHub says that one can also make a copy of my projects, (called fork in GitHub parlance,) but I am not sure what one would gain from doing that, because you cannot legally do anything with the forked code other than view it and admire it.  Even more information here: Open Source SE - GitHub's “forking right” and “All rights reserved” projects (https://opensource.stackexchange.com/q/1154/10201)

(Okay, if you compile any of my projects and run it once or twice in order to check it out, I promise I will turn a blind eye.)

If you want to do anything more with any of these projects, please contact me.

On JUnit's random order of test method execution

This is a rant about JUnit, or more precisely, a rant about JUnit's inability to execute test methods in natural method order. 

Definition: Natural method order is the order in which methods appear in the source file.

What is the problem?

Douglas Crockford talking nonsense

Here is Douglas Crockford,
talking patent nonsense about Java and about exceptions,
neither of which he understands, obviously.

Start playing at 27':42''. The insanity lasts until 32':00''.

On Code Craftsmanship

I will try to make a list of items here, but I could probably write a book on this.
