My career is geared towards agile development. During my years as a software developer, I have arrived at the conclusion that the methods that compound agile (or extreme) programming are not just the recipe for stable, high-class software that can make one proud but also tend to make the programmer happier in his work.

I am also a test freak. I see tests both as the foundation for shipping quality code and as a measure that makes it possible to refactor courageously, which is necessary for writing excellent, flexible code. What’s more, they can also serve as a light-weight, in-code specification.

I thrive to learn new things. Functional programming is one possibiltiy of looking at approaching problems from a different angle (and a very powerful and clean one at that). Agile development is one way of doing project management otherwise (and dare I say, better). Extreme programming and self-development can help managing the given amount of time better. All wonderful things.
