> It’s about creating an environment where refactoring isn’t an afterthought but a core practice, where quality is non- negotiable, and where learning and growth are part of the daily routine.
The difficulty here is that quality is always negotiable. That’s one of the core lessons in _Tidy First?_: it's always a choice, and sometimes the correct choice defers making an improvement until later.

Part of the background behind _Tidy First?_ is, I believe, a reaction against refactoring and TDD. I think I missed that. I know Coplien’s fine essay about “Most Testing Is Waste”; I don’t agree, but its argument is certainly something to take into account. But this cannot be what you are reacting to; it seems no longer to be available anywhere. What is the best counter-manifesto?
If I may also add, money shapes the Team. Kindly share your industry experience with global team and any trending management of it. I ask that so I don’t go ranting about my pains :) instead I like to learn more. Thanks
This is very exciting! I am looking forward to what follows. Will you explain how to help the struggling team? Or will you focus on how to build a new team with good practices?
