@dandi8 @JackbyDev Most of the criticism in the article talks about side-effects using a far stricter (and imo more useful) definition than Martin did.
I tend to agree, and would avoid both side-effects and writing code like Martin. However this book targets the mainstream, and afaik the mainstream hasn't yet accepted the new definition of side-effect.
Martin has since embraced FP more than the mainstream. So he's somehow both ahead of and behind the curve.
"Traditionally, testing was often relegated to the final stages of development, just before the release"
I was going to dismiss this as another strawman - the same strawman that we've been whipping since Winston Royce, 1970.
But then I see:
"At the outset of a project, during the planning phase, testers should collaborate with developers and stakeholders to understand the requirements and define clear, testable acceptance criteria."
How did we get back to waterfall?
