You make Martin sound like some sort of crazed software lepidopterist, pinning dead patterns to a musty whiteboard. I am sure he'll represent what Thoughtworks does with regards to TDD. I doubt Kent will just lay still either.

I see this debate as more of a Services vs Product development techniques mindset, with TDD as the background track. Shipping vs Consultant is another way to see it.

Whoa, wait a minute right there sir!

Kent Beck actually works for Facebook.

Martin Fowler is some sort of Principal Engineer or Thought Leader or CTO or Architect or some sort (regardless Services vs Product vs Shipping vs Consultant) for Thoughtworks, an organization that does services and products (check their website :)).

Uncle Bob, on the other hand, is definitely more of a service/consultant person.
