Join Casey Muratori, a software engineering expert and regular guest, as he digs into the quirks of Test Driven Development (TDD). They hilariously evaluate the pros and cons of TDD through real-world anecdotes. The discussion shifts to Progressive Driven Development, emphasizing careful changes for better user satisfaction. With amusing tales from the NeoVim project, they reveal the challenges of maintaining effective tests. Lastly, they delve into the paradox of code coverage, critiquing unrealistic standards with a witty nod to pop culture.
