    Slowing Decisions Down | #147

    Here's another technique card from my seminar, "Leading Technical Change". We first get into midwifing change precisely because we want it to be smoother, easier, and faster. But sometimes, a coach needs not to rush a decision through, but to slow it down. --- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.

    What About Failure? | #146

    If we're going to enable and support change, we're going to fail, more often than we succeed, and we want to bake tht idea in, early on, lest we fail both more often, and potentially more disastrously.  --- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.

    Can We Be Honest? | #145

    Can we be honest? If we're going to be successful change midwives, honesty is very important. In this technique card from Leading Technical Change, I talk about some of the ins & outs of this complicated topic. --- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.

    Slash the Load | #144

    The people who hire me ask me to help their teams make changes. Most of the time, my first step is to see how I can slash those teams' load. To me, this is dreadfully obvious, but for a lot of folks seeking change, it comes as a completely shocking idea. The weirdest part, though, is that it not only improves our ability to change, it usually also increases our actual productivity. Let's talk about the change effect of that first, then the productivity effect. --- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.

    Joy Project: FGNO Plotter | #143

    Joy project: Today's a comparatively light work day, so I'm gonna lay out what I'm actually trying to do with this project. The source, btw, is at: https://github.com/GeePawHill/fgno-plotter.  -- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.

    Against Automated Macrotests | #142

    TDD Pro-Tip: I advocate against automated macro-tests -- those whose base is entire running programs --, as their cost is high and their benefit is doubtful. I very rarely write them. There is a bewildering variety of terminology out there around what I'm calling macro-tests, so let's poke around a little. -- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.

    Some TDD History | #141

    I spoze the historic and ongoing inability/unwillingness of the software trade to grasp and adopt test-driven development (TDD) is one of the most frustrating & demoralizing events of my forty-two years as a professional geek. -- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.

    On Over-Coding | #140

    Let's talk for a minute about "over-coding". Over-coding, when you're a TDD'ist, is writing more code than you (intended to) have test to cover. But I will offer a few thoughts on this to *non* TDD'ers and TDD'ers alike. -- You can read the full transcription of this podcast over on GeePawHill.org.
