This is what I've been saying (see following thread post) for internet ages (before my "red book"). You don't need permission to improve yourself and lead others by example. Choose those most likely to be open to your influence, and spread interest gradually and organically.

In efforts to improve by using #DDDesign, you'll just upset the apple cart if you try to go all in and lead a rebellious anarchy.

@blair @brianokken I stop using automated tests (i.e. checks) when I reach integration, i.e. infrastructure. Not only because they tend to be flaky. Because automated tests are good for known knowns, while infrastructure failures appear to mostly be unpredictable. In production you mostly face unpredicted errors, and that's a sign.
Instead, I prefer:
- observability and verifying invariants *in production*.
- domain segregation and bounded contexts in code design, to test less infrastructure

Does it feel like the days have been getting shorter for the last 6 months?
Well, I have built a giant calculating device out of 57 #Z80 CPUs, and can assure you, from today, there will be more daylight in your days!

@chrisoldwood @danbjson true. .
PR code review can be a human avoidance technology.
@tottinge @chrisoldwood The occasion I have most specifically in mind was a refactoring war, not formatting. Something around whether a method should be inside a polymorphic hierarchy (strategy pattern) or if it should be only data and the acting should be a switch in the caller.
Yes. They should have sat together - acting out differences in opinion via git is not ideal.
Throughout my career we techs have been told not to scare “the business” with technical detail.
We’re currently having building work done and uncovering all the sloppiness and hackery of our previous builder. The difference? Our previous builder was good at admin and paperwork but had no feel for the quality of his workers. Our current builder will tell you far more than you want about the detail of the job and his workers are all solid. 1/2
"Programming by Intention" is a new phrase to me, but this is how I always work. This, & TDD. https://ronjeffries.com/articles/-y023/python/-9x280/283/
