Do you mean compile or actually test?
A function that adds a and a instead of a and b compiles fine, but it's still a bug.
I compile more often than test.
How often I compile depends on what I'm doing.
If I'm writing new functionality I usually don't compile until I think it's (partly) done.
Whenever I'm fixing bugs or typo's I sometimes compile after every few keystrokes.
And I save VERY often, like every minute or so (and sometimes more often).

Probably many of you already now it but just in case...
I was searching for an issue I am having with routed commands. I found a blog speaking about the article "Understanding Routed Events and Commands In WPF" by Brian Noyes and I just found:
MSDN Magazine Issues[^]
MSDN Magazine-Ausgaben[^] (Same site, German Version)
In there you might find a copy of all MSDN magazines to read online and or download for offline use. (Prior 2008 are in *.chm help files, which I actually find better as the PDF edition)
Thanks for it, Microsoft 
(I only hope they don't deactivate the site after switching MSDN off) 
EDIT: Just found another source (just in case): WebArchiveOrg : MSDN Magazine[^] (goes back to april 2008)

Nice, I started programming in August 2010.
The magazine for that month features an article about migrating to the Azure cloud, something I wouldn't be doing for another seven years or so.
The article is useless because everything changed.
There's an article on Windows Phone 7 (speaking of useless) 
There's an article on Entity Framework by Julie Lerman, still with the old EDM file and the designer, something they've got rid of altogether with EF Core.
Something about Lazy<T> being cutting Edge (no, not the browser).
And something about NHibernate and Rhino Service Bus... Does anyone actually still use those? 
Oh, how times have changed

There are probably going to be some of those cases... but still is a good collection.
And many other things are still relevant (or at least I hope so)

Just download the PDFs...? The filenames all follow some pattern as I recall, so you could even script it.
Why people rely on links, especially on something that has had a history of changing so frequently as those from MS, instead of downloading stuff when it's an available option...I'll never understand.

I am going to download it, but the pattern is not that easy.
Code samples are named correctly, the rest have cryptic names not that correlated as I would like.
If I have to do it manually... it will take a time, but I will do it too

I just had a look, and it seems like you're correct - it's definitely not the simple "https://...xxxxxxxxxxxMMYY.pdf" pattern I thought I remembered. Even scraping the page for links to .PDF files might not be that easy. Sorry about that.
I've been getting them one-by-one as they've been coming out for years now, so I never had a big queue to catch up with.
I'd be happy to zip up and share my collection as a single file [*], but my upload bandwidth is well under 1mbps, flakey as hell, and tends not to resume interrupted downloads all that well (or uploads in this case).
The only single-file download I can find right now is the old 2000-2002 archive, at archive.org, but clearly this isn't what you want...I have little doubt someone somewhere might have the whole collection available through a one-click download - these are the sorts of things people tend to make available that way.
[*] They're free downloads, I'm sure the copyright police at MS would look the other way for something like this...?

Very nice from you, but don't worry...
Ken told below, that they are moving the whole content to the "Docs" area.
If I get dead times in from of the computer, I will start downloading on my rhythm. Thank you anyways for the offer.

No, it will be migrated over to Docs, along with all the magazine content.
