The first part of the reading was about a topic I am well aware of by now. Test Driven Development is discussed and why we should all be using it. I have used TDD many times when coding and the benefits are clear, it may seem like you are doing more work than you should be, but at the end of the day you know your code is clean and almost bug free. It goes on to say that TDD should no longer be argued about using, it should be used without argument. There are no downsides that are large enough to prevent a programmer from using a TDD approach.
The second half of the reading was pretty straight forward, you should always be practicing. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been programming you can always improve, you can practice to write code faster, learn a new language, write certain algorithms with ease. When it comes to TDD, just knowing exactly where the keys are to write your test can help reduce programming time dramatically. Most if not all practice should be done on your own time, so you become a more valuable employee over time.
