- dastbe 5y agomy interpretation is that there is a certain class of people who think "if i just apply the process then i will get a satisfactory result", as bob martin does with using TDD to implement a sudoku solver instead of just thinking through the problem and designing a solution up front. i don't think its a particularly great analogy because the bob martin example is about trying to use a "mindless" process to achieve a desired design, not picking an overkill option.
