In this morning's coaching session with an iOS developer, primitive obsession was getting in our way. Specifically, an array. I learned from @softwareascraft.com to take an array and turn it into a type you can control. "If you don't do it now, you'll end up doing it later after you regret it."

Continuing to use #TCR on this rewrite.

With the script to beep at me and automate the frequent commits... it's just #TDD. There's a few things a little different. Having done #TDD a lot - this is nothing new. It's strong support for what I want to be doing anyway.

I did 3 hours of TDD/TCR tonight... and wrote 7 lines of non-test code!!! OH YEAH!!!!

Most of that was tweaking the TCR script; and fighting it. So much fighting it. Some changes don't play nice.

But I got through it; Hook and Crook used freely.

I got my C# TC||R script(github.com/Fyzxs/DotNet...) updated. It now expects small commits and Arlo's Commit Notation (github.com/RefactoringC...)

I'm starting to rewrite my MtG site using TCR. I'm starting with the backend... will eventually have to configure something for a React frontend.

💥 BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.

Updating my T&C||R powershell script.
Inspired by #AONW 2025.

Minimizing run tests for 'speed'.
Adding a popup dialog on green to use Arlo's Commit Notation.

I will re-re-re-write my site backend using 'TDD like I mean It', TCR, and ACN.

It's gonna hurt; hurt so much/good.

Also, it was a fuckin Nazi salute come the fuck on

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯

We do not talk to 👮

"I have NOTHING!!! Next"
I treat it with the importance it deserves.

A company I worked with had the mentality of, "we all succeed or none of us do".
I use that phrase a lot when pushing back on the "I did my job" view.

I often use an interface to shrink/clarify/control accepting specific generics in another interface.
I do this with classes too.

Example (Csharp):
public interface TheInterfaceThingy : IOtherInterface<SomeType, AnotherType, WhyAmIAddingMore>;

What do you call this?

I am convinced that some people have had their memory of 2016-2021 wiped. That’s the only explanation for this. WERE YOU IN A COMA??? Were you off planet? Did you fall into a hole and go camping under a rock? Did you miss all the pardons Trump approved??

There's a lead role on a sibling team to mine.
Looking for strong XP/TDD/Ensemble Programming.
SecDevOps focused; the team should own all.
Desired tech knowledge is angular/react/typescript.

Some cool stuff coming up for the team with react.

If you can’t explain & defend code that went into the code base via a code review/pair you participated in, that code should not have been merged. Doesn’t matter if you wrote the code or just reviewed it: it’s your work and so your responsibility.

“AI wrote it” is even less of an excuse than that.

Continuing to putz with @godotengine.org in almost entirely code.

I can switch between scenes!!!

It's small and simple; but fun to have gotten working.

Well... It's not REALLY switching... I have an empty scene which I then add/remove nodes which are the scenes.

It works. Which works for me.

Anyway

A few years ago I wrote a small series on how I "#TDD like I mean it" quinngil.com/tdd-like-you...
It has flow charts!
I have a second series on #TDD ... which was mostly a rant, doing #TDD on Money... I'll dig that up for a future post.

Ahhhh, yeah.
One way I promote this type of shift is making the edges of your system as thin as possible.
Finally got around to pulling out the last dozen lines of boiler plate from my Azure functions. :)

I love making changes like this. If you need to explain it; give it a name.

This is an awesome conference. I'll be there.
