Dan North - Originator of Behavior Driven Development (BDD) & Principal Consultant
ABSTRACT
When I started in IT the roles were clearly separated. Business Analysts wrote requirements, Architects designed them, Programmers wrote the code, Testers tested the software. Over the last decade or so we have seen a shift towards "generalising specialists" who can cut code, understand a business domain, design a user interface, participate in and automate some of the testing and deployment activities [...]

Jeremy Anderson | I can’t get enough of Dan North, he is a fantastic thinker. 28:00 and five minutes on either side is truly golden.

Frank Staheli | Several excellent insights. Here are just a few.

To understand what program you're writing, see if you can write the "Read Me" instructions and the FAQs first.
If it changes every time you do it, don't automate it. If doing it becomes boring, DO automate it.

Kevin Beal | Ironically, when you make white guys the only people who can be made to look bad, they become the most human and relatable.

"I must hire this woman in the name of Justice"
It's a luxury to be able to think this way. Most of us just want to get work done and food on the table.
