"Working software over comprehensive documentation" It never ceases to amaze me how many devs I feel have interpreted this single line as "Documentation is an absolute waste of time when I could be coding. And I can always be coding, so let me do just that."

I've been coding for 20+ years. For the first 10 years, I thought automated tests were a waste of time. Then, I dug in, practiced, and got good at testing. Now, I test often. Tests catch a few mistakes every week. Tests help me change code faster, with more confidence.

I get stressed when the News pulls people from the queue to interview them, because I worry they'll lose their place and have to go to the back again.

Test-driven development IS SLOW. For a couple of sprints. Writing just the production code IS FAST. For a couple of sprints. 😄
