https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/canon-tdd isn't particularly new; Beck has been consistent about "write tests before the code, one test at a time" for about 25 years now.

Same idea, different spelling: do you really think TDD should get credit for your good results, when you aren't actually shackling yourself to the practices that the thought leaders in that community promote?

I want to credit "writing automated tests" with the good results that I get from that practice. The problem is I need terminology that's widely used by other developers.
