"Can I ask, not to make a point but because I genuinely don't know, what software Uncle Bob Martin has shipped? What products has he worked on?"
AFAIK, he is the chief maintainer of Fitnesse. It is not particularly ground breaking code, and is by no means an epitome of design brilliance. That said, at least he walks the walk and puts some code out there (like Kent Beck [junit] and unlike the rest of the agile "gurus". )
Most of the agile "gurus" can't code for nuts(e.g: Ron Jeffries's "Sudoku Solver" attempt is a public example of how not to use TDD, as is his book on TDD ing which is full of pious agile homilies and terrible code).
It is instructive to make a list of the initiators of the Agile Manifesto and try to find some code written by them so we can judge their skills. Mostly crickets chirping.
- tptacek 17y agoI had no idea that there were famous "TDD-ers" or "Agile-ers" that were infamous for not being able to code at all. I just don't keep track of this stuff that closely. Thanks!
