Here’s a secret: it’s not for the tests. Learn about the actual goal and values hidden under the surface of Test-Driven Development. Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a controversial topic amongst developers. It is a vehicle to drive development. Why do people apply TDD?

But I’m hoping that will help provide clarity to engineers and give them the opportunity to pick and choose which skills they want to work on first. We also offer step promotions, such as Software Engineer 1 to Software Engineer 2, which come when the engineer is proportionally far along their way to the next title.)

Our industry is in the early days of an explosion in software using LLMs, as well as (separately, but relatedly) a revolution in how engineers write and run code, thanks to generative AI. This means shipping sooner, observing the results, and wrapping your observations back into the development process. 100% debuggable?

However, one of the growth challenges we have is that our backend is primarily written in Clojure, and few developers know Clojure. Many CircleCI engineers, including myself, have learned Clojure on the job. Before joining CircleCI, I was a JavaScript developer. This unevaluated function call is simply a list.
