🔭 #10: how to avoid TODO bankruptcy, TDD live streaming, book recommendation: modern software engineering, and new content from my book about testing
Read about my thoughts on working with a TODO list more effectively, my latest TDD live streaming sessions, and books about how to write better software.
Hey,
The last couple of weeks were rather stressful: I'm still in the process of moving, and I have a lot of ideas that I want to explore. As a result, my TODO list got longer and longer, and therefore I had to declare TODO bankruptcy and find a way to deal with it.
I did two live streams about TDD, which you can check out on YouTube.
Dave Farley released a new book about how to build better software faster, and I'm already halfway through.
And last but not least, I want to share some of the work I did on my book about writing good tests for Vue applications with you.

Every couple of months, I reach a point where I have to declare TODO bankruptcy. The items on my TODO list are getting more and more, and I schedule more and more todos each day to get ahead. But obviously, that doesn't work—quite the opposite. I never manage to get everything I put on the list done on any given day, which frustrates me… read more
TDD live streaming
I did two TDD live streams the last couple of weeks. So if you keep hearing about this TDD thing and writing tests first, but you don't know how to get started, then these videos are for you!
Book recommendation: Modern Software Engineering: Doing What Works to Build Better Software Faster
Dave Farley released a new book, and I just started reading it. So far, I have enjoyed it: profound knowledge and anecdotes to provide historical context.
I also highly recommend you check out Dave Farley's YouTube channel.
Fresh content from my book about writing good Vue tests
Read about the pros and cons of automated E2E testing, automated acceptance testing, and unit testing in three new sections of my book about writing good tests for Vue applications.
