I've found it to be a really great experience stepping out of a world where I felt like I was constantly re-inventing the wheel into a world where I was constantly seeing the result of a lot of eyeballs and a lot of great decisions.
Once I started relying on my tests/specs to ensure my code was working properly I started to appreciate the beauty of the code I was able to write. I also started noticing the volume of code I _didn't_ have to write.
I think you'll find it a great step forward, good luck with the job hunt!
- shortlived 16y agoI hear often "units test... beautiful code" and well, I agree that code can start off that way but how does this style of development/train of thought work in the long term? Are there any examples of agile software that is over 5 years old? How about 10?
