In this case, I don't think the company can be blamed. As I recall, it hadn't asked for TDD training, it had asked for C++ training. So if anyone should be blamed it would be ObjectMentor for (a) hearing this as "introduction to object orientation", and (b) sending someone with rusty C++ skills.
- Nimi 13y agoThat's what I meant - even if your employer asked for TDD training, ObjectMentor should have objected on the grounds that it will achieve nothing.

- unclebobmartin 13y agoAt the time of that course, Micah was supporting a very large C++ application, and had been for some years. Were his skills rusty? I rather doubt it. In any case, --- what does this have to do with the article in the title line? It seems odd to be talking about something my son did nearly a decade ago in response to an article I wrote today?
