Yup! Even with the slow movement, I think apprenticeship can be a great deal. So long as the job is something that's general enough. I'm talking plumbers, electricians, etc. There will always be broken toilets and bad wiring. I&#x

I agree the next gen needs Math. Not for the reasons in this article, though. John Carmack's 2012 QuakeCon speech is almost a direct rebuke: https://blogs.uw.edu/ajko/2012/08/22/john-carmack-discusse

Woah! Thanks for sharing. Love hearing about the other side. All of the projects I've been involved in operate on either a continuous release, or a one to two week release cycle. So, I'm definitely ignorant to the standards at spo

This. Unit testing is better for a lot of reasons. Dev familiarity is definitely a big reason. I find they're a bit more robust, too. Integration tests are more brittle. Which, can be good ("Hey, there's a bug here...").

Thanks for the good word (I'm the author). I 100% agree about setting the right culture / the difficulty of managing the transition. It takes a ton of work to establish the right infrastructure + culture. Specifically for the reas

TDD is great. It should be a given on any project that isn't just a spike. I'm curious what kind of products you were building? Simple websites, or full fledged applications? 100% unit test coverage can still miss a host of gnarly
