It's OK to fail, the red, green, refactor story
Writing code is hard, writing perfect code is even harder. The best thing we can do is learn to fail! During this talk we'll learn how to use tests to guide our code design and improve implementation. We'll write small failing tests and iterate on them until we have some code that will be well written and easy to refactor in the future. We'll learn how writing small failing tests will guide us on our code writing journey.
