TDD for Your Soul: Virtue and Web Development
summary
Claims that applying TDD’s red green refactor cycle to character produces measurable change: write failing tests for self control, courage, justice, and wisdom, implement concrete habits (pair programming style feedback, design–pattern imitation, reflective exercises), and iterate. Tools are tests-as-accountability, peer feedback, and imitation/experience; examples include pairing to force vulnerability and using design patterns as life templates. The process reports improved behavior and maintainable habits and aims to help engineers become better people.
