                  <div>I was surprised.=C2=A0 Let&#39;s see what happens.=
=C2=A0 The
                    timing is interesting as I was just recently
                    prompted to dig out some old articles/papers I&#39;ve
                    written and have some reflective=C2=A0time to publish
                    updates... what is timeless since the early 2000s
                    and what has evolved (at least for me).</div>

              <div>This leads to a wider discussion regarding what has
                changed for you as an XP enthusiast and practitioner
                over the years. I&#39;d like to keep the question wide ope=
n,
                so don&#39;t hold back.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>I recently experimented with evolutionary design
                without tests and I found it enjoyable and illuminating.</=
div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>I worked with a group of 3 people. They wanted to
                practise microsteps and to see a design evolve. For 3
                hours, I drove while they typed. They practised the
                microsteps inside their IDE (elementary refactorings,
                keystrokes) and we went through 2 features of one of my
                teaching examples, &quot;test&quot;-driven (meaning that w=
e wrote
                and ran the tests in our heads). It worked surprisingly
                well! They got to see some simple design evolve (albeit
                with no pressure from tests) and that made them happy.
                They could more clearly _see_ the power of evolutionary
                design, related to being able to defer commitment and
                change directions as needs change. We also just went
                more quickly than we would have had we written the
                tests.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Of course, I told them that if we got into trouble,
                then we&#39;d start writing tests. Fortunately, we didn&#3=
9;t
                get into trouble in just 3 hours. :)</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>So it turns out that after a decade or two of
                practise, one can live without the tests a surprising
                amount---at least in some contexts.</div>
