@thoughtworks congratulations! 🎉
Yeah, I agree and try to TDD anything that'll be in prod. I am a TDD proponent! 🙂
Avoiding over engineering is indeed another great reason to use TDD.
Years of being a consultant have shown me you don't need TDD to build a production system but you'll have a considerably more maintainable system if you do!
@Kanekotic like most software development practices I feel #TDD has a time and a place.
I believe any nontrivial code base will benefit from TDD with *fewer* bugs and cleaer code however things like rapid prototyping and exploratory work that will be thrown away later can be drastically slowed down.
I also, personally, find it tricky to learn a new language, library or framework via TDD and instead try to grok the fundamentals then come back to testing after I've managed to get a few hours of experience under my belt.
Ultimately TDD is another tool #agile teams can choose to utilise or not.

It's been so long I don't think it matters anymore. Thanks for offering though!!

Upholding British tradition 🇬🇧
@judeswae @mheiber @effye @thoughtworks
That's pretty cool! 💯
I remember you showing it to folks pre-covid. Nice to see it is still alive and well!

2017: @mheiber and I ask for resources to setup a #Mastodon instance on #Thoughtworks infrastructure
2018: @effye , @mheiber and I launch https://toot.thoughtworks.com . Every employee can create an account and start posting. More than 800 people will do that over the next 5 years.
2023: The official corporate account of @thoughtworks is created and starts posting on the #Fediverse.

Slightly upset no-one tried to recreate the #coronation scene from Johnny English yesterday.
@Kanekotic What other options are you thinking of?
I did a democracy!

Hello, world!
Following recent changes at Twitter, the new home of the X.Org Foundation is here on Mastodon. Please follow for the latest in the Linux graphics world and the freedesktop.org community. Going forward, we will no longer post to Twitter, but we're so excited to join the Fediverse!
I was singing a Disney song and my wife joined in before releasing she isn't on mute in her meeting! 😅😅😅😅😅
@borkdude ah cool, maybe next time then! Hope you all have a great time! 😁
@borkdude do you know if any of the talks will be recorded? I'd love to hear how folks are using babashka but probably cannot get to Berlin for the event. 😕

@BreakingImpossible Ohhhh. Peanut butter sauce is definitely a thing but I think you need to thin it a bunch. 🤔

Seems very poignant indeed, USA.
Get with the program.
Opens git repo I haven't touched in ages.
I have a local change!
It is one comment

Intrigue ensues, what happened here?!?!? And what am I supposed to be doing?
