Does functional programming SOLVE complexity, or is it just another style we’ve all decided to argue about?

Enjoyed a talk with Abby Bangser today at @gotocon.com in Copenhagen. Continuous Delivery in a world of constant change...

There were a lot of questions we didn't get around to answering, so if you see me around this week, please feel free to stop me for a chat.

Thanks for the conversation with Dan and your BDD reference. I've added them both of them to the references section of my BDD blog entry.

Too often, developers get caught up in the code, but software isn’t just for us it’s for the people who will use it.

Done right, it reduces waste, avoids painful misunderstandings, and lets us focus on the parts of software development that are genuinely difficult.

At its heart, BDD is about collaboration and shared understanding. It’s about ensuring that what we’re building truly aligns with what’s needed and giving ourselves a language to explore that together.

I've been thinking about my chat with Dan North, we revisited the roots of Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). What struck me again is how easily we can misunderstand BDD as just another testing tool or automation framework, when it’s something deeper than that.

Owning code in production changes how we write it. ‘You Build It, You Run It’ isn’t asking too much of developers, imo. It’s a great way to build reliable software.
