Useful talks to listen/watch
- One Hacker Way - Erik Meijer
Meijer has a clear stance on how this is going to go down, and it starts with, well, killing Agile. Or at least, killing the idea of blindly following the methods.
Instead of talking about code, Meijer thinks that we should go the Facebookian Hacker Way. It’s an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. The best idea with the best implementation should always win.
Just push it to production. It will fail, but testing is only about writing tests, not real code. If it breaks, fix it! TDD is for pussies!
