    Stubbing a function so you can rush to your goal for real ? Kent Beck would be rolling in his grave if he wasn't still alive

    It seems this idea is orthogonal to TDD. It can even help TDD in a way, because, in principle, your initial, minimal, "failing", implementation could be a prorogued call that you would then expand to the concrete implementation.

    I would not be so sure about Kent Beck agreeing with your stance, since this post from him looks quite well-aligned with this idea to me: www.quora.com/Computer-Programming/What-is-Linu...
