TDD Conference 2021 - How TDD sensitized me to speed as a regular workplace habit? - Ragunath Jawahar

#oop #tdd #opensource #programming

First International Test Driven Development took place on July 10th.

In this series, I will include every talk together with my notes and further reading.

Hopefully, a lot of readers will watch and rewatch the talks, as they are worth several reviews.

Let's continue...

Bio

Ragunath has consulted organizations like Gojek, Dunzo, Tiffany & Co., Mizuno, etc., for a decade. He stabilizes fast-growing teams and reclaims codebases that teams are afraid to change. He is a fan of fast feedback cycles and also believes that you are only as good as the team you build.

TL;DR: Short feedback loops should fail fast, grab attention and suggest corrective actions

Talk

My Personal notes

On a good feedback loop, the system tells you when something is not right.
They help us catch mistakes early on.
Good feedback loops are not as good as feedback loops telling you something is wrong.
Negative Feedback loops help experiment much faster and figure out small solutions
IDEs shorten feedback loops
We must shorten the latency between the action and the consequence
IDEs with excellent feedback guide through available options
We classify stimulus under (Latency, Attention and Response)
Grammar.ly works in the same way, shortening feedback loops
UIs are very difficult to unit test
Excellent feedback loops should fail fast, grab attention and suggest a corrective action
improve feedback cycles measuring cost-benefits
