  • Favorite thing about dev: Solving problems Finding innovative solutions Helping people Building cool stuff
  • Least favorite thing about dev: Not enough time spent on it.
  • Tdd knowledge: It produces good results but takes too long. There are more efficient routes to producing a good unit tested product that consume less time. However, I think it is good to present this so the team knows how far off the mark they are.
  • Why are you attending: The team is not writing good unit tests. Some don't know how. Many of them do know, in theory, what to do but they don't practice it. More rigor would make us more efficient.
