Two questions
1) Do you not feel self-conscious or weird about calling this "EvanFlow"? Seems like a lot of people these days are naming their AI tools/skills/whatever after themselves which seems self-absorbed. Either that or they hope that if their thing takes off like OpenClaw did then they'll grab the fame that comes along with it.
2) Why does your TDD flow miss the refactor step of TDD?
- wenc 5mo agoI feel like 1 is a self correcting problem. If this goes nowhere it will soon be forgotten. I can think of one example that did go somewhere: Linux.
- EvanKnowles 5mo agoFeels like a bonus to me.

- stingraycharles 5mo agoReiserFS is another one that comes to mind. And djb (the djb) also wrote djbdns. There are plenty of examples, usually when it coincides with someone’s first project.

- normie3000 5mo agoRef 1, he should have called it Daughter.

- toyg 5mo agoI initially thought it was a pun on Pearl Jam's classic "Even Flow", then I read your comment and noticed the username... Sad.
- mansilladev 5mo agoI was really hoping this was something I could find on CPAN from the author username perlJam.
- ButlerianJihad 5mo ago"Evenflo is a hundred year old infant feeding brand." Probably named to market its baby bottles and accessories. Everybody who grew up to listen to Pearl Jam had seen or used an Evenflo pacifier, baby bottle, or car seat. That's one reason the song already sounded so familiar.
- phyzix5761 5mo agoLet the guy have something. Free and open source developers work tirelessly for free for years supporting software that billion dollar companies use to make huge profits. We don't question when scientists name stuff after themselves so why question this? At least he gets some recognition for his work.

- infecto 5mo ago1) Do you feel weird asking a question like this? What constructive benefit does it add to any dialogue? Sometimes it’s helpful to ask oneself what’s the benefit of an answer. I cannot think of any for your question and the way you worded it is a bit cringe. People name things after themselves all the time. It does not matter in the slightest.
- evanklem2004 5mo ago1): you have things backwards, the EvanFlow is not something i came up with but rather something i discovered similar to the dao. i am named Evan after the EvanFlow not the other way around. 2): you're right and dmitry called this out below too. shipped a fix that puts REFACTOR per-cycle, instead of being a deferred "after all tests pass" step. the old step 4 was iterate-shaped not TDD-shaped.
- collingreen 5mo ago> 1): you have things backwards, the EvanFlow is not something i came up with but rather something i discovered similar to the dao. i am named Evan after the EvanFlow not the other way around. What does this mean?

- collingreen 5mo agoThat's what I thought but I figured I'd give the benefit of asking first before I passed judgment on the snark.
