    TDD Chess Game Part 3: Stumbling and Refactoring

    ByErik Dietrich April 11, 2014June 27, 2014

    My apologies. I meant to be a little more regular in this series, but I stumbled a bit out of the gate, as I got into the home stretch of my next Pluralsight course. Now that the course is delivered (not released yet – in the review/edit phase), I have some more time, so I’m…

    The Craftsmen Have it Right: Defining Software Quackery

    ByErik Dietrich March 27, 2014

    I’ve fallen a bit behind on listening to some of my go-to programming podcasts of late (I will explain why shortly), but some of my friends were talking at dinner last week about a recent episode of .NET Rocks, featuring Alan Stevens. It presented the question, “Are you a craftsman?” and adopted a contrarian, or…
