My old man who will always gladly mention that „we did this already in the 80‘s and it was called frobniz“ whenever I bring up a technique, architecture etc. would beg to differ. When I asked him about TDD he said they did practically the same thing. Forgot how it was called though. One recent gem was when he shared a video where they explained the recent crowdstrike debacle: „Look they’re making the same mistakes as 40 years ago. I remember when we dynamically patched a kernel and it exploded haha…“. In any case, writing tests before writing the implementation was a thing during the 80‘s as well for certain projects.
