I will recommend folks take the time to go and read the O.G. book on TDD[1] to really get a feel for what it was intended to be originally and form their opinion from there. Most of the time when I see people talk about TDD they are either cargo cultists or uninformed people.

- DerArzt 5y agoThe book is worth reading, even if you don't end up adding TDD to your normal workflow. One of the things that stood out to me about it is that Kent mentions that you should throw away your lower level tests that you used while you were developing and exploring the problem. I have yet to see anyone ever mention that little tidbit.
- cloogshicer 5y agoHey, thanks for your comment, just curious, do you think the author of the article is uninformed? If so, could you briefly explain how so? Genuinely curious, since I generally agree with what they said. However, I've been recommended that book before with the same sentiment and am quite curious about opposing opinions, just haven't found the time to read it yet.
