Learn about the benefits of #TDD, and the way I do it: leveraging "prediction", by playing JitterTed's TDD Game: tdd.cards

Soon to be an online game! Buyers of the physical version (below) will get early access to the online version.

Another great group at my Ted Talk last night in Berlin (thanks to BB JUG, Spring, Microservices, and DDD groups, and Prodyna for hosting). Lots of great questions and conversations.

Tonight it's on to Jena which will also be livestreamed! luma.com/7z10z1uo

#EventSourcing

Ted's standing up in front of the room, facing the gathered group, gesturing at the "But we have an audit table" slide on the large screen.

Very happy with my new travel coffee setup! Kettle that works in 120v and 240v, solid manual grinder, and light V60 filter funnel.

On the hotel table sits the travel kettle, the manual coffee grinder (with its bag and the cleaning brush), the V60 filter funnel with the coffee grinds wet from having been used, a bag of coffee beans (labeled Uganda Sipi Falls, but it actually contains Columbian beans from my favorite roaster: Old Bisbee Roasters). My "JitterTed's TDD Game" baseball hat snuck (shamelessly) into the picture.

On the train from Hamburg to Berlin (yes, it's delayed and there's no wifi, so what else is new?) to give my #EventSourcing Ted Talk at the joint Berlin meetup!
