Learning research tells us that the time lag from experiment to feedback is critical.

Listening, Testing, Coding, Designing. That's all there is to software. Anyone who tells you different is selling something.

Responsible Development is the style of development I aspire to now. It can be summarized by answering the question, How would I develop if it were my money? I'm amazed how many theoretical arguments evaporate when faced with this question.

If testing costs more than not testing, then don't test.

If you're having trouble succeeding, fail.
