> > This has happened to me several times while writing this book. I would get the code a bit twisted. “But I have to finish the book. The children are starving, and the bill collectors are pounding on the door.”
I wonder how much methodologies, books are written with the same banal driver. It is somebody's livelihood and they don't pay writers to stop middle of it because they realize its flawed.
I once found a book on triangular currency arbitrage or something like that at my library. It was 4000 pages long and the book was heavy. The book would ramble on in languages that made it difficult to follow and would be filled with mathmetical notations to the brim which really offered no value because the book was written in the 70s and it no longer offered any executable knowledge. But finance schools swear by it and speaking out would trigger a lot of people.
TDD is a cult. Science is also a cult in that manner, it rejects the existence of what it cannot measure and it gangs up on those that go against it.
