The market may be rewarding the TDD skill, it makes sense. But consider that causality makes sense the other way around too. Anyone with the patience, eye for detail, and organizational skills demanded by TDD could be just an above-average programmer.
Personally I like a “don’t forget the tests” approach for larger units of business logic, but I’m against exhaustive micro-test suites that just turn into bespoke, buggy, and useless-at-compile-time type systems.
- RandoHolmes 6y agooh please, this is the programmer version of "if you're reading this blog you're already in the top X% of <insert industry here>".
- guscost 6y agoThe top 50% are capable of actually doing TDD? I don’t see why that’s impossible, especially if they are the ones implementing it, not just pushing tickets along within it. And I don’t really follow TDD practices myself, so this would say nothing about me.
