When Michael Feathers talks it’s usually worth listening. Michael is thoughtful about software and software design, for example Michael is the person who invented the term SOLID as an approach to software design.

Michael is also the author of a book that is on the “must read” list of nearly every real-world programmer “Working with Legacy Code”. In this chat, Michael Feathers describes this book as "scare tactics for TDD" - When you know how hard it is to write tests for existing code, you’ll write tests from the beginning!

Michael and Dave talk broadly about automated testing, software architecture and design principles for quality code, and Michael claims that “OO, when it's done right, looks a lot like FP”.
