Elephant Eaten

This morning I checked in the code I’d been working on over the weekend. I told one of my teammates I was nervous about it because I was doing in a single commit what I would have preferred to split across almost two dozen commits. Still, all of the unit tests were passing, and the bench test I’d done only turned up one problem (which was actually a pre-existing bug that I decided to fix). So I pulled the trigger.

And it worked the first time.

It’s almost like there’s something to this idea of working incrementally, creating loosely-coupled modules, testing them at their interfaces, and running all the tests all the time. I’m just hoping that next time it doesn’t take a complete breakdown of discipline to get me to remember that.
