These two things tend to make agile an excellent fit for startups and an impossibly bad fit for large projects in large organizations. A big problem in development, particularly when a lot of people are introverts, is communication. Some people invented a fun little game called “test driven development” (TDD).

TDD is an Agile Development technique in which developers write test cases before writing the corresponding code for the user story assigned to him. Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code. How TDD is different than others?

This is how the developer story used to go: You do your coding work once, then you ship it to production—only to find out the code (or its dependencies) has security or other vulnerabilities. After all, observability is about understanding systems, which means more than just production. TDD goes platinum. But nothing’s perfect.
