34: The Hardest Test You'll Ever Write Is Test #1

Wolf is at the "relies on tests" end of the spectrum. Jim is closer to the other end, somewhere around "how do I start?". He doesn’t need convincing. He just needs to get from zero (non-trivial) tests to one. Today’s episode is a candid discussion where Wolf addresses Jim’s obstacles and tries to "start Jim’s testing engine". With other stuff along the way (as always).

He just needs to get from zero (non-trivial) tests to one. Today’s episode is a candid discussion where Wolf addresses Jim’s obstacles and tries to "start Jim’s testing engine". With other stuff along the way (as always).
