Nice PickThe methodology that turned 'we'll figure it out later' into a formal process, often with more meetings than code.
Pros
- +Promotes flexibility and rapid adaptation to change
- +Encourages continuous customer feedback and collaboration
- +Delivers working software in small, manageable increments
- +Reduces risk by allowing frequent reassessment and course correction
Cons
- -Can devolve into endless meetings and documentation without strict discipline
- -Often misapplied as an excuse for poor planning or scope creep
Write tests first, cry later—but at least your code won't break in production.
Pros
- +Catches bugs early, saving debugging time later
- +Forces cleaner, more modular code design
- +Provides a safety net for refactoring
- +Reduces regression issues in long-term projects
Cons
- -Slows down initial development speed
- -Can lead to over-testing trivial code
- -Requires discipline that many teams struggle to maintain
Compare:vs Agile
The secret sauce for browser puppeteering. Debug like a pro, automate like a boss, but good luck with the docs.
Pros
- +Direct access to browser internals for deep debugging and profiling
- +Enables powerful automation and testing frameworks like Puppeteer
- +Works across Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera)
- +Real-time monitoring of network, DOM, and performance metrics
Cons
- -Documentation can be sparse and confusing for beginners
- -Protocol changes frequently, breaking existing integrations
- -Steep learning curve for non-trivial use cases
