Conference Speaking And Presentation Skills: Mike Hall Interviews Sarah Gray | SCNA 2013
In this interview, Sarah Gray shares her experience of using the metaphor of a child with a purple crayon to describe the process of creating new worlds in software development. She emphasizes the importance of using tests as a descriptive area to write what the code should be before it exists, and how this approach can help developers think like writers and step back from the framework to focus on the desired outcome. #softwaredevelopment #programming #metaphors #testdrivendevelopment #softwarecraftsmanship
