David kindly had me on as a guest on his wonderful "just 5 mins" show to talk a bit more about outside-in-testing and answer some of his questions after my last episode on this show on the matter.
- Just Five Mins! Episode 78 - Outside in Testing with Tim
A follow up to my blog post on test automation - with an angle that I think is missing in so much of the software industry - outside in fully automated tests from the perspective of the user is THE most important thing - plus don't let your tests see your internals, not even for setup and teardown.
- beware fast talkers, as Ray Dalio says in Principles https://www.principles.com/ (as a tweet: https://twitter.com/RayDalio/status/1599056902637248514 )
- beware pattern obsessives (any pattern, architecture, SOLID, CQRS, Event Sourcing, Outside-in testing, you name it, someone wears it as a badge)
- evolve your architecture - YAGNI, but do think ahead

Excuse the coughing, I've edited out a few but I am genuinely fighting a bloomin' cold.
Tim is going to do more digital delivery (contract), while defending time for building useful things for podcasters and being involved in that space, all while being good at email and being a great family man.
