I was on Socrates DE 2025 so I wrote an article about it:
| Preferred programming technique | TDD |

A little "mind connection" article I wrote up after leafing through @davefarley77 's Modern Software Engineering: https://dev.to/mbjelac/cost-of-change-in-forests-deserts-3dfl
I pulled out an article from my dev.to Drafts, dusted it off and removed the cobwebs. It's a bit wordy but OK I guess. Please comment if it is not! Also if it is! 😊

@tottinge excellent article!
I wrote a short nod-article to it with a sort-of corollary: https://dev.to/mbjelac/tdd-is-cheaper-3i6a
