I know who Robert Martin is, and writing tests before implementing it was described I think back in the 60's, though I don't want to disrespect Kent, DHH is trying really hard to make himself a name by sensational titles. Calling yourself as an uncle for unknown people is a dick move though, very pretentious.

Just to sum it up, this whole new pseudohollywars is just Random noise, just like my comment.

Just to be clear, the name "Uncle Bob" was given to me by a coworker in 1989. It was in my email and uunet signature for years. (There are kids out there who don't know what uunet was). The name stuck, and I eventually adopted it as a brand.
