Xavier Detant


Abstract

Doesn't it feel so good to be in control of your code ?
Seeing your TDD loop spinning quickly !
*code*
*code*
Green bar !
*code*
Green bar !

That's a feeling we wish we have every time we code.
Reality though…it bites:
- Tiny test that adds a small complexity that shatters the previous design
- Unexpected red bars during a «simple» refactor that shows that we actually need 2 hours of blind refactoring before having even a chance to see that green bar again
- Git conflicts !

What about we try to do better than that ?
What about we tested a way to make everything go smoothly ?
What about we revert our code any time an issue shows up ?

I promise it will hurt.
I promise to give any hug necessary to go through it.
I promise it will be worth it.
