I think of my style of coding as "microtest TDD". That can be misleading for folks, so let's take a walk over a few of the ideas, implicit and explicit, that make up the approach. First things first, bear the money premise in mind in all that follows, to wit: "I'm in this for the money." In the software trade, we make money by shipping more value faster. This is why I adopt these practices, because when I do them, I go faster. In particular, I don't do them out of a fondness for artistry, intellectual purity, common decency, perfectionism, or theory. I do them because they are the best way I've discovered, so far, to ship more value faster.
