On this episode of Refactored…

  • 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!
