Two Ways of Solo Programming – Seaside Testing

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/05

Food for thought from Stephan Kämper: [Wayback/Archive] Two Ways of Solo Programming – Seaside Testing

TL;DR:

  • it is about the time in between paid projects
  • mode 1: learning; each day ends with a working state (compiling source, passing tests)
  • mode 2: personal projects (libraries, tools); each day ends with a failing test as a guidance what to keep working on

The last one refers to [Wayback/Archive] Try ending today with a failing test for a great start tomorrow – DEV Community by [Archive] Nick Holden (@NickyHolden) / Twitter.

The Myth of Advanced TDD

[WayBack] The Myth of Advanced TDD

People frequently ask me for “advanced TDD”. I have good news and bad news.

TL;DR:

if you think you need to to “advanced TDD”, then you don’t do TDD.

If TDD hurts, then you need to improve your design or code. It’s like going to the gym: it’s not the exercise that causes the hurt, but the lack of physical condition.
