What Can a Java Developer Learn from Golang? by Grzegorz Piwowarek

Golang is often mocked for its simplistic approach of solving every problem with a finite number of if statements and for loops. However, it features a few fresh approaches that can inspire Java developers.
We'll discuss things like modularity, interfaces, concurrency, and tooling.
As a bonus, you'll learn how to write idiomatic Golang.

This is a really good talk, so we went ahead and featured it in the latest issue of 💥Tech Talks Weekly. Congrats Grzegorz 👏

28:00 The problem with TDD is that it is very difficult to come up with a perfect public API and do the implementation later, because when you start working on that, you will realize, that the API does not fit. Often times, people stick to the API and continue to work with a "wrong" business model, just not to break the API promises. TDD is not useless, you should learn and apply it on at least one of your projects. It will teach you to think about potential pitfalls in the future, but once you understand that, TDD will just slow you down.

TDD is just one of the tool in the toolbox - I don't always do it. However, hardcore TDD practice definitely helped in developing my intuition during my early days

Agree TDD is useful as tool for learning how important it is to think about exception handling but it really is not useful in day to day work in reality. Once you've learnt how to pay attention, TDD is complete useless in most cases. It has a very niche use case in some specific context but loads of TDD fanatics have managed to claim it is a sliver bullet because they don't have a real answer to your questions
