#Tag
Time for an #introduction I suppose.
I am a full stack developer, former game developer.
I had a lot of exposure to #clojure and #emacs in the last 12 months, and got hooked.
I have been using #tdd for about 15 years.
I like to use #godot for hobby game projects.
#TDD with SwiftUI livestream.
🗓️ Returning Sunday, October 19, Sundays, 9am Pacific, 16:00 UTC
(Cancelled this week, but returning the following Sunday.)
Join longtime iOS unit testing instructor, Jon Reid ( @qcoding), author of "iOS Unit Testing by Example".

Confession. I‘m a bad person. Usually, when I develop new features, I implement that feature, then I test it manually and only if the stars align I‘ll add automated tests. Who‘s gonna throw the first stone?
Assertion libraries can be considered as mini-DSL’s that make automated tests more readable. When a team of devs make their choice, they usually judge on API preference. While it’s very important to have readable tests, the API should never be the deciding factor. What truly separates a good assertion library is the quality of its failure messages. The more actionable these messages, the faster you’ll diagnose the cause of failing tests.

Reflecting on 25 years as a software developer—a milestone I reached last July—I’m struck by how much the industry has evolved. I’ve seen hypes rise and fall, technologies come and go. However, there’s one thing has remained a constant: the value of Extreme Programming. I’ve been fortunate enough to learn and study the core values and practices of 😜 early in my career. I can only say that it has paid dividends ever since, for which I'm more than grateful.

To that end, I’m happy to announce my workshop, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, on 4 𝐚𝐧𝐝 5 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 2025 𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐩. This two-day, hands-on workshop blends theory with practice in a real-world codebase. You'll be collaborating together with fellow attendees to master the art of writing loosely coupled and highly maintainable automated developer tests.

Imagine if only 50% of the energy that is currently used to talk about #LLMs and "#AgenticCoding", was instead used to talk, teach and practice #TDD.
Imagine what kind of #software we will have in either scenario 10 years down the line...
