I've been collecting a personal note of various "____ Driven Development" patterns, I figured I'd share them here to help others adopt them!

Hint - I don't actually strongly recommend some of these patterns 🤣

  • Domain (name) Driven Development
    • Buying a domain name to motivate you to actually build something
    • Rarely ever works
  • Meme Driven Development
    • "Building it for the meme"
  • Readme Driven Development
    • Outlining how the thing should work in the readme, and then implementing it from there
    • May actually work really well
  • CI Driven Development
    • Slinging code changes to remote to see if the CI passes or fails
    • It usually fails at least couple of times, don't worry about trying to find the root issue locally, just keep pushing changes!

Being Unopinionated

Published: ....

It's fine for a library to express some opinions about how it should be adopted and how the overall workflow/application in which it is adopted should function. However, it's false advertising to say that it is unopinionated.

Stop Snacking

Published: ....

No I don't mean those Milano cookies you keep taking from the office snack wall either (although you should probably stop snacking on those as often as well).

No Process is Invisible Process

Published: ....

Low/no process workflow wasn't actually no process, it was only an "invisible" process. An implicit contract with everyone on the team to do that async workflow on their own time.
