summary

Katas are short, repeatable programming exercises to internalize basic steps by practicing the same small problem many times. The live example implements a "decode Roman numerals" kata using CoffeeScript with Jasmine tests and a continuous test runner (korresdojo.com), showing incremental refactoring to handle subtractive notation while keeping the test suite green; constraints like keyboard-only, tiny methods, and language swaps are suggested to build muscle memory.
