Tidy First?

Kent Beck · 2023

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Gergely Orosz loved it
"Tidy First? is the first in a series of books about software design. Kent has been coming back to the topic of “taming” software design in a digestible format."

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
