- He He RT @manasgarg: @d7y Karma can catch up anytime between now and several life-times. Law of Karma is "eventually consistent". #
- Should one consider a single test case with 15+ asserts a smell ? Or is that not uncommon ? #
- @sbtourist you articulated quite well, the instinctive reason I was resisting breaking up many of the test case .. thanks. in reply to sbtourist #
- Every self asserted opinion denouncing monkey patching remains valid until you find a cool use for it.
# - @codemonkeyism nice one! in reply to codemonkeyism #
- @codemonkeyism I think PM is as essential to inform and assure stakeholders. But the nature of PMgmt changes. More tolerance 2 uncertainty in reply to codemonkeyism #
- .@codemonkeyism I like to think of it as a continuously adapting plan (plan management ) that reflects discovered insights. #not_rigid #
- @codemonkeyism i know I'm being picky .. but isn't that project management as well ? I read "Not using PM" very differently in reply to codemonkeyism #
- Awesome mini presentation by @KentBeck Software G Forces http://is.gd/53lRd Ingredients and Impact of accelerating deployment. #
- I wrote more test cases today than ever before in a single day. Writing test cases is very satisfying though not particularly exciting #
- A approach I'm working with, which seems to be working well is – write rough code, play with it, and then write production code using TDD #
- I find only TDD to too constraining, refactoring intensive and eventually not so satisfying. Hence now write rough code n follow with TDD #
- @davetron5000 I frown at monkeypatching, but reached a situation today, where that feature would've been wonderful, but #python disallows
in reply to davetron5000 # - @davetron5000 LOL! Unfortunately assert(StringUtils.doYouContainAllTheMethodsEveryoneWants()) will ALWAYS fail
in reply to davetron5000 # - @surya_s Rough code contains about 30-60%+ functionality (100% of critical functionality), is actually a test bed for lot of refactoring. in reply to surya_s #
- @surya_s On a different note – rough code is much much bigger than just a spike http://www.extremeprogramming.org/rules/spike.html in reply to surya_s #

- @LauJensen Testing is an insurance policy for human limitations. Some find it too expensive, others find not having one expensive. in reply to LauJensen #
