the way to build software they don’t show you in
school ‘cos they don’t know
imagine all the people... not clicking through their whole websites
when they deploy
agile scrum kanban extreme programming tdd bdd simply be a
fucking professional
it’s actually simple specify what the code should do then
make it do that
then do it again and again
now a demo
red green refactor
unit tests for your models integration tests for the whole
stack
engage your brain before your hands
break a big problem down into pieces manageable brain chunks
write the api first better, simpler code first time
naming things more important than you think code as documentation
confidence coding has rhythm immediate feedback protect against breakage you
become a craftsman
