JitterTed's TDD Game by Ted M. Young
Have fun learning how to do Test-Driven Development with JitterTed's TDD Game!
tdd.cards
The "Refactoring" Expansion to tdd.cards is going into Play Testing soon! I think it's going to be fun and instructive (and fun).
If you buy a physical copy of the game now, you'll get a discount on the expansion.
You'll also get early access to the online version.

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat

Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s:

EqualsVerifier 4.2.2 is out!
It now supports EnumSets and EnumMaps for enums with only one value. Also, I fixed an error message that referred to Warning.ZERO_FIELDS, which was removed in version 4.0.
All in all, very exciting stuff
