Over time, #software rots. Unanticipated changes in directions not originally foreseen or obsolescence of dependencies can cause software to rot. What can we do? @S2IL explores ways to gradually improve the technical hygiene of the software you create youtu.be/U3sWzKnMIbk?li…

"Why you're not using PRs in your project?" "Because we prefer to use CI/CD" "But but..." "Listen, @KentBeck invented CI, @davefarley77 invented CD. They both agree that PRs and feature branches are incompatible with CI/CD. What do you know that they don't?"

As the calendar winds down, it's fitting we take a good look at all the innovations of 2022 and what could disrupt the #software industry in the coming years! Here’s our #HolidaySpecial featuring @hannes_lowette @S2IL, @holly_cummins & @lucamaraschi youtu.be/CnTcW6tyl4o

"By making computers and software more accessible, and improving the quality of technology, we lowered the bar. You don't need to be a genius to write software anymore." #GOTObookclub strikes again with another episode featuring @S2IL & @davefarley77 youtu.be/sLjSGrkbIFw?li…

One of my biggest takeaways from @S2IL's book on TDD is that TDD is really about driving the *design* of our code, and not its correctness. "If TDD were only about testing, we couldn’t really mount an effective case for writing tests before [...] the business code is written."

Tune in for the latest #GOTObookclub ep. with @S2IL and @davefarley77 as they review the multiple ways test-driven development can yield more effective results and produce higher quality code 📚 youtu.be/sLjSGrkbIFw?li…
