If you can write production code that covers all cases then you can write tests that cover all cases.

Never ask permission to refactor. Never ask permission to write tests. You do these things because you KNOW they are the best way to go fast. When you ask permission, you are asking someone else to take responsibility for your actions.

When we learn to code we first learn procedures. They’re cool. Then we learn objects, they are cooler. Then we learn pure functions, they are coolest. But when we learn that they all flow together indistinguishably...That’s mastery.

State of the art bug tracking is not a solution to a problem, needing it is an indication of a problem.

Developers do not have to justify testing and refactoring to management; because those disciplines increase efficiency and productivity. Indeed, it is the lack of such disciplines that ought to require justification. I doubt any could truly be found.

Don’t assume you need a big solution just because you have a big problem. Even that big solution will be built one step at a time. Choose a feedback loop that also operates at the scale of those steps.

When hiring permanent programmers, as opposed to contractors, knowledge of a particular programming language is the least important criterion.

Doing test-after dev (TAD) should, in theory, be able to provide the same improved design results as TDD. In reality, I've never seen it happen. People don't generally clean up their design because they wrote some tests after. #20YearsTDD (4/20)

The table was Jesus’s favorite piece of furniture, and what eventually got him killed was his table manners and who he ate with. How are we extending the table of fellowship, inviting people to experience the fellowship of the Father, Son and Spirit?

In any organization, an amazing amount of work and money goes into preserving the illusion that the process is being followed and is working.

This is interesting, and from personal experience I would say it is pretty accurate.

I've used test retries as a strategy. It always feels regrettable. Good strategy is to push retryables to a separate suite and treat them as technical debt. engineering.shopify.com/blogs/engineer…

It’s not wrong to go to someone who has sinned against you & directly address the wrongdoing. What’s wrong, & I’m wondering how many times I’ve been there, is growing a deeper & deeper root of resentment because we lack the courage to confront or the self control to do it calmly.

Good Decisions + Daily Discipline = Success (from Today Matters by @JohnCMaxwell ) this applies to so many things, playing with this thought in coaching my software development teams while putting it into practice in my personal life.
