What Kent Beck actually said

  1. Kent Beck Creator of extreme programming and test-driven development
    we're accumulating code faster than we're accumulating trust and that sense of trust comes from me struggling to understand some domain concept I get it. I represent it in the code. I have I write tests that demonstrate that I really did understand it. And now I trust my program.
