What are you reading? Because it is pretty clearly not what I wrote. How is "I wish TDD advocates would stop equating unit testing with TDD" vitriol? Dismissing the only actual evidence because it doesn't fit your beliefs is not reasonable. TDD advocates are the one making claims. Nobody said TDD is harmful, just that it has no benefits and that TDD does not equal unit testing. As for not thinking the article author is cultish, try reading the first paragraph. It is literally "TDD is everything, all hail TDD, TDD solves all problems" and is all completely baseless.
- kasey_junk 13y agoI'm sorry that I read the assertions that you should always skip TDD and that it's proponents are all members of a wacky cult as calling TDD harmful. Clearly you intended to have the nuanced view that sometimes TDD is ok and sometimes you shouldn't use it. I guess I mistakenly read the author to say that when in fact you were the one with this point of view all along. My mistake.
- papsosouid 13y agoI'm not sure how this is still unclear. Something having no benefit does not mean it is harmful. My pointing out that TDD has no benefits does not imply that I think it is harmful.
