The 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
