Discussion on: Things Nobody Told Me About Being a Software Engineer

[Martin Kiesel]

Or delete some parts of the implementation and see if some tests fail. I sometimes split commits in test and implementation so I see failing pipeline.

[Tony Brix]

My workflow is almost always:

1. Write the code
2. Write the test
3. Run passing tests
4. Comment out the code
5. Run failing tests
6. Uncomment code

[Jan Wedel]

That’s why you should

1. Write a failing test
2. Make the test green by implementing
3. Refactor Go back to 1.
