Yadda 3.0.0 is out. The release modernises the JavaScript BDD library, but more interestingly, it was largely built by Claude Code and points to why executable specifications may become even more valuable in an agentic development world.
- ur-whale 2mo agoOne suggestion: my bet is that close to no one knows what the acronym BDD stands for. The first comment on this post is in fact exactly about that. I'd consider explaining what BBD is at the start of the front page of your project.
- cbsmith 2mo ago"my bet is that close to no one knows what the acronym BDD stands for". That's disconcerting. Software engineers ought to know.
- citizenkeen 2mo agoI’ll take that bet, since we ask about it in our interview questions.
- jaggederest 2mo agoWhat's the hit rate? Give us some data, if you can :)
- ur-whale 2mo ago> I’ll take that bet, since we ask about it in our interview questions. You evaluate candidates based on their intimate knowledge of acronyms? LOL. Pray tell where you work so we all collectively never apply for a job there.

- davepeck 2mo agoIt may be an age thing. 15-ish years ago, TDD, BDD, Red/Green Testing, and a whole bunch of others were hot topics. They’re still useful approaches to know about, even if some (like, IMO, BDD) didn’t really stand the test of time.
