> But he doesn't. Because the benefits aren't higher, in fact they are lower I am genuinely curious, what do you mean with this claim? I mean, yes the costs are high [1], but when properly paid, do the benefits still end up sma

Part of the problem is that there are not that many TDD codebases or TDD'ers around. Also, this is probably not something you can pick up while doing toy projects or school assignments. The benefits start to show in the 100 kloc and ab

[TDD] encourages a focus on sorting out detail to pass tests rather than looking at the program as a whole. I have actually found the opposite to be true. I have to make large refactorings to move things around to arrange the whole system

Maybe I am being idealistic, but I think the sentiment in the discussion concerns not only the ideal coding techniques themselves, but also the bigger picture of business needs. That is, if we took the approach of keeping code in somewhat d

In case of a UI, the trick is not so much to write an abstraction for this, but to write the application logic such a way that it does not depend on the UI framework. Your own UI code should be limited to displaying the data with the help o

I'd say this is sound advice for core components of the system, but we may want also to consider the types of the dependencies. For example, I would not wait for three times if the dependency is some kind of external system (DB, UI, Ne

I think those four criteria beautifully capture many goals of software design. And for example, we could say that we reduce system state with a functional approach, make component coupling looser by indirection with object orientation, and

If your system's design results in your stable components depend on the non-stable (volatile) components, your system is complex. This is because volatile components change often and these changes ripple to your stable components effec

I think the right approach is not to avoid dependencies, but to manage them. Let's say you are unsure of the correct UI framework just. React, Knockout or Angular? React native? Maybe you don't yet know which database best suits y

> The real offense when we factor duplicated code is the new dependency that is added to the system. A slight tangent on that note, but I think many of the problems with current web development result from the same root cause: adding yet

Maybe if VCs do not see a way to make a decent return on their investments on common infrastructure (as seems to be the case also with physical infrastructure), we should consider funding that work through taxes. The article refers to Mark
