Looking back on the last decade Some amazing events, like 2 podcasts, a book, a blog, speaking events, and teaching has led me to where we're at now.
Looking forward to 2020 and beyond I discussed what's in store in the next year and moving forward.
A closing quote Software is a blast. At least, it should be. I want everyone to have fun writing software. Leaning on automated tests is the best way I know to allow me confidence and freedome to:
rewrite big chunks of code
play with the code
try new things
have fun without fear
go home feeling good about what I did
be proud of my code I want everyone to have that.
That's why I promote and teach automated testing.
I hope you had an amazing decade. And I wish you a productive and fun 2020 and the upcoming decade. If we work together and help eachother reach new heights, we can achieve some pretty amazing things
