Doing a bit of TDD as a treat (I require the dopamine from seeing red turn into green)

You don't need a full-featured testing framework, or something that outputs in JUnit format, to get the value of a red-green-refactor loop. All you need is a feedback mechanism, which can be as simple as "does the exit code for this process indicate an error or success?". Kent Beck's test-commit-revert demo using python does exactly this - no importing a framework or test runner, but leaning on python's built-in `assert` keyword. https://youtu.be/Aof0F9DvTFg?t=220&si=D7afjzT2GvTEhTQn

The thing that I found most valuable - and most generally underrated - from learning TDD 5 years into my career is the art of developing by making lots of small, targeted commits that each deliver an increment but leave the codebase deployable. Multiple commits per day.

I describe TDD, and practically every other software development technique as "neither necessary nor sufficient, but sometimes useful". Zealotry of TDD or any other practice is often a consequence of Dunning-Kruger; a lack of awareness of how effective other techniques can be.Post details

IMO, a snazzy rebrand at this stage would only be helpful if we could also stop people framing TDD as a silver bullet, and acknowledge that it is just one of many useful strategies that have different Value vs. Cost trade offs in different circumstances. Seems unlikely though..🙂Dave Smith (@davidjamessmith)Mon, 27 Sep 2021 12:03 +0000

I hear some "OGs" telling devs you don't need TDD anymore after you've done it "long enough" The design feedback and safety and 20 other things TDD gives us, even the oldest practitioners we know we can't do without. I personally will never be ditching it. Don't buy it. #TDDDave Schinkel (@DaveSchinkel)Tue, 12 Jan 2021 21:13 GMT
