@bilboed Oh cool! I didn't even know Forge was a thing thanks!

Today I met an elephant 🐘

Thanks @LidiaInfanteM for the photo!

@yogthos would love to take a look, could you share it? 🙂

@thoughtworks congratulations! 🎉

@Kanekotic

Yeah, I agree and try to TDD anything that'll be in prod. I am a TDD proponent! 🙂

Avoiding over engineering is indeed another great reason to use TDD.

Years of being a consultant have shown me you don't need TDD to build a production system but you'll have a considerably more maintainable system if you do!

@Kanekotic like most software development practices I feel #TDD has a time and a place.

I believe any nontrivial code base will benefit from TDD with *fewer* bugs and cleaer code however things like rapid prototyping and exploratory work that will be thrown away later can be drastically slowed down.

I also, personally, find it tricky to learn a new language, library or framework via TDD and instead try to grok the fundamentals then come back to testing after I've managed to get a few hours of experience under my belt.

Ultimately TDD is another tool #agile teams can choose to utilise or not.

It's been so long I don't think it matters anymore. Thanks for offering though!!

@judeswae @mheiber @effye @thoughtworks

That's pretty cool! 💯
I remember you showing it to folks pre-covid. Nice to see it is still alive and well!

@trinsec @freemo Well now all I can see is disco bender! 😂😂😂
"Bite my groovy metal ass!"

Slightly upset no-one tried to recreate the #coronation scene from Johnny English yesterday.

@Kanekotic What other options are you thinking of?

I did a democracy!

I was singing a Disney song and my wife joined in before releasing she isn't on mute in her meeting! 😅😅😅😅😅

@borkdude ah cool, maybe next time then! Hope you all have a great time! 😁

@borkdude do you know if any of the talks will be recorded? I'd love to hear how folks are using babashka but probably cannot get to Berlin for the event. 😕
