Rewiring your brain - with Test Driven Thinking

We all say we should write tests, or at least we should write more of them.
But we never seem to have the time, and our focus is on the actual problems we’re trying to solve. Nobody wants to be bogged down by busy work.
What if all of that was wrong?
What if tests could save you time, improve your focus - and even be fun!
In this talk we’ll dig into some of the psychology of how we work, how we improve, and how we can harness a test driven thinking approach to supercharge our productivity!
