The Last Year Has Changed Everything I Knew About TDD After 20 Years
I've been practising TDD as a software engineer for over 20 years. This last year, with AI's introduction, has changed EVERYTHING I thought I knew. Many developers are finding that their established expertise and daily workflows are under pressure as new tools change the landscape of our industry. We examine whether traditional coding practices still hold the same value in a world where automated tools are increasingly capable. It is critical to evaluate our methods rather than clinging to them out of habit, especially as software engineering continues to evolve rapidly. - 🎟️ SECURE YOUR SPOT IN EMILY'S WEBINAR!
