Course code: ABOY-1

Years with company: 2

Years programming: 5

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Python, Bash

Unit test harnesses: Internal company framework, gTest, unity (not the game engine)

Something else: A nerd not only at work, but in a lot of things. Love hiking, cooking, gaming, and learning new things. Soon to have a second son (being able to set my own pace with this course will come in handy :))

Test practice now: Code first, unit and integration tests later.

Target system: Mainly an ARM Cortex M processor from STM32

Dev tools: VIM for writing code, VSCode for debugging. VM and Docker environment for building and unit testing.

Build time: Under 10 seconds

Coding standard: Main focus is readable AND memory efficient code. Functions and components should do one thing.

Function too long: When it does too many different things. When it's hard to read.

Code reviews: Find potential bugs, suggestions for cleaner code, tests run in CI

Code time: 50

Test time: 20

Debug time: 30

Favorite thing about dev: Problem solving, collaboration, it's a craft you hone, mix of tech. knowledge and creative thinking.

Least favorite thing about dev: Debugging is fine, but doing it under time pressure is awful (which is normally the case)

Tdd knowledge: Not much, test before you implement. People have very strong opinions of it (on both sides)

Why are you attending: I've heard a lot of negative opinions on TDD, and some positive. I'm want to form my own opinion :)
