@CuriousAgilist @jlacar I don't remember the original context, and if it was in the context of an article, I can't find it. Searching google, it's not clear that I'm the only, or the first, person to say it. Charging on, Junilu is certainly right that while the TDD cycle seems simple enough ... /1
@CuriousAgilist @jlacar ... doing TDD well is difficult, not easy. As for #DTSTTCPW, the original of that was first used in my life by Kent Beck, who used to ask "What's the simplest thing that could possibly work". Kent may have learned it from or used it when working with Ward. /2
