This is a remote pair programming codecast with Amitai Schleier<\/a>\u00a0on Legacy Code, the Trivia kata<\/a>.<\/p>\n We are refactoring some legacy code in Perl and VI. Adi doesn’t know almost anything about Perl, but he knows the problem and the approach. Amitai knows Perl so he is primarily driving, while Adi is navigating.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are using the Trivia Kata that JB Rainsberger<\/a> started using with Legacy Coderetreat. We start with having a safety net, some tests in a format called Golden Master<\/a>.<\/p>\n This session is a Genuine Codecast, in opposition to a rehearsed codecast where everything looks perfect. In a Genuine Codecast we do mistakes, we work as any normal two programmers would and we are not perfect. You can follow our, correct or wrong, train of thought, and how we try to pair for the first time ever.<\/p>\n After around one hour or working together we end up at a stable spot with the code, a moment where we can continue. We have some tests. Yaaaay!<\/p>\n We tried also the Modulino Technique<\/a> in Perl, which was very interesting for Adi.<\/p>\n Check the video and please come with your ideas and comments<\/p>\nPremise<\/h2>\n
