My "enforcing TDD" point was rather tongue in cheek. Really, I was just saying that a rails app of even moderate complexity with no tests is a very dangerous beast, and something I would not wish upon my worst enemies.
- mordocai 10y agoIndeed.
- beat 10y agoYou can remove the word "rails" from that, and it's still 100% true.
- eric_h 10y agoTrue, but I think that with rails and a few dozen gems one can bolt together a terribly architected app that on the surface seems to work but is in fact a bunch of spaghetti and lasagna code bolted together with duct tape, teetering on the edge of a cliff like a house of cards; checkmate. (sorry, couldn't help the futurama/zap branigan reference once I start mixing metaphors).
