Kent Beck, Chief Scientist at Mechanical
Orchard, and inventor of Extreme Programming and Test-Driven
Development, joins SE Radio host Giovanni Asproni for a
conversation on software design based on his latest book "Tidy
First?". The episode starts with exploring the reasons for
writing the book, and introducing the concepts of tidying,
cohesion, and coupling. It continues with a conversation about
software design, and the impact of tidyings. Then Kent and
Giovanni discuss how to balance design and code quality decisions
with cost, value delivered, and other important aspects. The
episode ends with some considerations on the impact of Artificial
Intelligence on the software developer's job. Brought to you by
