Refactored #003: “Working With a 10x Developer”

On this episode of Refactored…

• Top lessons learned from working with a 10x developer by Jeffrey Bakker
• The guys debate the definition of “Legacy” code. Frank says it boils down to age & depedencies, while Chris thinks it has more to do with a [lack of] control.
• The guys agree that code reviews MUST be dispassionate analysis. No names. No emotions. “You are not your code.”
• Chris has a bone to pick with BDD. Frank agrees it’s bunk.
• Kent Beck, of Extreme Programming fame, doesn’t advocate 100% test coverage.
• Frank and Chris agree that documentation, tests, and all the other “meta” are non-negotiable parts of writing software.
• The pick of the week is the Das Keyboard 5Q.
• … and much more!
