The article discusses a developer's journey with the Connect Four project, emphasizing the importance of Test-Driven Development (TDD). Initially apprehensive about the time commitment, the writer found the structured lessons from The Odin Project valuable for understanding TDD. Despite challenges with RSpec syntax and overwhelming project complexity, they acknowledged that crucial early stages focused on determining test names were foundational. Ultimately, completing the project led to significant improvement in TDD skills and instilled confidence in their development approach.
The principles of TDD were pretty clear to me from the start as The Odin Project explains them very clearly, and I was actually keen to try it out.
I quickly realized that the most important part of the process actually happens at the very beginning when thinking of test names.
