This from Twitter in 2020. A story about human connection. I've played guitar and sang for 50 years. I rarely play for anyone else. I'm haunted by the feeling that I need to be better before exposing myself to others. (Deep roots to this--story for another day.)
Particularly nice. I recall a riff you once played for me, the guitar bit from Never Goin Back Again, which sounds to me like it would take four hands to play it. It was a thrill to see you making it happen. For me, a real connection.
Just read this now and coincidentally I told my team today that we need to do better at writing test code so we can improve our our own lives. Plus we'd become a more productive team, and not work as hard to read, write, and change code including tests. And, of course, we would avoid some of the defects that slip through.
Recommended a BDD-style approach. My main points about using BDD:
1) We verify and refine requirements up front.
2) We end up with a better design (because we approach it from the outside in).
3) We get more readable tests because we focus on the test cases first.
Pull-based thinking...start at the end and work your way backwards.
I've worried about inadequacy as a musician since college (music school can be brutal). But I also love playing for people. Video meetings was a safe way to play. Does that answer the question?
