On: How to use BDD to discover value-add for your star...

Here I was expecting an article on using binary decision diagrams to efficiently solve some combinatorial problem with business applications!

Why this confusing initialism? Oh wait, silly me. For a second there I forgot that the intersection between people who chase such faddish mirages as behavior-driven development and people who know a bit of computer science is approximately zero.

While I am no fan of testing unnecessarily, that comment is really a bit too harsh.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. In my defense, I was genuinely expecting an article on BDDs and was disappointed when it wasn't!

Testing is fine. Process buzzword bingo is silly. Of the exceptional programmers I know, not one worries about any of this.

Where do you see process buzzwords ?

BDD, TDD, Agile, XP, Software Craftsmanship, etc. But let's not pollute this comment thread any further. I'll try to keep my snide asides in check.

I was very happy today to see an article on Cuckoo hashing and one on space filling curves on HN. Three actually interesting technical articles that are not just fashion du jour would be a lot to ask for.
