Exactly. It’s likely for some projects every line of code you write will in the end be a complete waste. TDD is only worth the trouble assuming any of the project succeeds. If not it may just be more wasted effort. For this reason I think a case can be made to skip TDD on MVP traction tests in some cases.
A friend of mine just had his startup acquired, so his startup was an above average success and he told me 80% of what they built ended up getting scrapped.
- virtualized 9y agoThe problem is you don't know which 80% will get scrapped.
- dangero 9y agoI don’t see this as a problem as long as you make time to add tests later once you are convinced the code will be kept active through user traction.
