Locality of behavior and cohesion are excellent principles for designing good software. One crucial point to note is that cohesion and separation of concerns are not necessarily opposites.

@unclebobmartin Can you elaborate a little more? I do define the loop: clear end-state criteria for the agent, and the work isn’t considered complete until they’re met. But it still takes some guidance and a few iterations to get there.

@alexbunardzic First step remove useless redundant comments

@GergelyOrosz @martinfowler Still can be used as agents to do some daily reports etc no?

@iihtishamm Explosions have been continuing for over an hour now, one blast every few minutes. Doesn’t seem like a full ceasefire yet.

@Hasen_Judi In short the problem is premature abstractions

@alexbunardzic Or query the datetime provider in case process depends on date and time

[ALi Rafique, Muhammad @ali_rafique_m]

@alexbunardzic Should we query the data, pass it to the processor, and then test the processor?

[ALi Rafique, Muhammad @ali_rafique_m]

Start without a predefined API. Focus on the goal—what should happen in a given situation? Define the outcome, then create only the necessary API. This ensures clarity and purpose. For TDD, goals become behaviors, turned into tests, with API evolving along the way. Sometimes, I skip tests initially for a simpler design. How do you approach design?

Agile isn’t about rigid rituals; it’s about adaptability. Embrace values, not just practices. Tailor your process, focus on delivering value, and keep improving. Agile is about flexibility—make it work for you.

It's not just about cleaning up the mess - refactoring is a disciplined way to improve with our growing knowledge of the situation.

Sometimes, yes, it is about cleaning up the mess. 😀

@unclebobmartin These are the days of trends. Enough number of people raise valid concerns and we get gazillion people with baseless concerns.
Enough people praise someone for right reasons and.....

Should parameters be ordered by their importance/ necessity for functionality? If the order changes, it indicates a shift in the central role to a different object. Similar to single dispatch, there's always an object that is most important because it holds and orchestrates the rules.

[ALi Rafique, Muhammad @ali_rafique_m]

@alexbunardzic @unclebobmartin That's right. They should respond with logic.

[ALi Rafique, Muhammad @ali_rafique_m]

@DorianDevelops Nope
