The Programmer's Paradox

MARCH 16, 2023

It all has to be very reactive; you keep fiddling with the code until it gets traction. Under those conditions, it doesn’t make sense to cross all the t’s and dot the i’s as the life expectancy of the code is weeks or months. We see the same kinda thing with unit testing. So you build, pivot, build, pivot, etc. But it got worse.

Test-Driven Development is one of the few truly new Agile ideas. Originally created by Kent Beck as part of Extreme Programming, it’s a fantastic way of making sure your code does what you intended it to do.
