Townes Van Zandt. "Pancho & Lefty".

I spill a little beer for TVZ.
Jesus.

That's all. Just. Jesus.
I've watched it five times now.

Microtest TDD is a "way of coding", not an after-market bolt-on to old-school approaches, and as a result, we have to constantly intertwine our conversation about technique with our conversation about transition.
Geekery's fun for me, and it's comforting, but it's not the most important story going on around us. Enjoy this thread, but please keep working for and supporting change in the world.

Black Lives Matter.
Technique, skills, philosophy, theory, all of these are tremendous delights to me. I love to muse & mull & illustrate & analyze & argue & point, and I greatly enjoy doing it on the topic of the modern synthesis in software development.

Jumping forward 60 years, here's Indigo Girls, "You Left It Up To Me".

This one. Ai ai.

These women, roughly contemporaneous with me, have narrated my entire adult life. I have no real distance with which to critically evaluate them.
Not only do they have harmonic skill that usually depends on genes, their harmony is *insanely* slurry, above & below the note in perfect correlation.

This is Tommy Johnson, covering Charlie Patton's "Big Road Blues".

Patton is widely regarded as the "father" of Delta blues. Certainly, he was the first well-known professional country blues player. Composer, or liberator, of many songs that came to the canon, like this one.
He was also a well-known *trick* player. He'd put the guitar behind his head, or under his leg.

He had a travelling show, the first ever with advance men, posters, and reserved theaters.

If 30 people say they want me to twitch the first 100 cycles of an ONI game, I will do it. Say yes by just responding with "yes".
Okay, so that's a done deal. Sometime in the next week we'll twitch the first 100 cycles of an ONI seed. Now I just gotta figure out when. Stay tuned, I'll give a couple of days warning and several tweet announcements.
I'm looking at Thursday, 5 pm Eastern.

ONI: I had another seed, but I was in low-bandwidth location featuring the very real & dark possibility of cannibalism, so I couldn't share. Anyway, I still have two days more off, and now I'm home, so let me share.

It's c267. Image
Features: My increasingly standard base, 8 beds wide, 16 dups. Directly below it is the industrial brick, which I'm really just now turning on full. West of the base are 4 hatch ranches and a full rodriguez, cooled by the AETN below it, and watered by that huge ph2o cistern.
East of the base is the drecko rig, below that the remnants of my starter power + industry area. Down below in the oil, I once again went straight for a petroleum boiler. By chance, I seem to have gotten the counterflow exactly long enough, oil's dripping in at 398c, perfect. Image

In microtest TDD, we describe collaborations as "awkward" or "graceful". The distinction is critical to understanding how the Steering premise and the Pieces premise work together to make TDD a productivity tool. Let's dig in.
Here in the states, it's Black History month. I urge my friends and followers to pay attention: American history and Black history are deeply & painfully intertwined, and we won't move on until we go through.

Black Lives Matter.
We talked the other day about understanding & manipulating dependency in microtest TDD. The awkward/graceful distinction is at the heart of this. It can be a long journey to get it all, but it *starts* as soon as you take TDD for a spin in your day job.
