I don't understand this trivializing of her work. Her project is innovative in teaching programming and is a product of research and she coined its name. Same goes for TDD, it's an innovation in the approach to coding, and someone gave that a name. We had tests before and we valued tests but that's not the point.
I have my own reservations about her method, but that does not mean her work is trivial.
- jagged-chisel 6y agoI have not trivialized the work. I have disagreed with the naming. This is not a software development methodology, it’s a learning methodology.
- cxr 6y agoWhere in "X-first programming" does that constraint come from? What seems to have happened here is that you read "purpose-first programming", inferred that it's a methodology for developing software, and then started insisting that the responsibility for your taking that leap is someone else's fault, instead of yours. "Purpose-first programming" makes as much sense as "literate programming".
