What's "Tidy First"? Is this a book I should have heard of?

The author of this piece is Kent Beck, who has written on software before. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/25211.Kent_Beck

He is one of the "Agile Manifesto" people: his name is on this page https://agilemanifesto.org/

His books are rightly well-known. He appears to be discussing his upcoming new book. It doesn't seem to be out yet.

ooooh. yeah he wrote the book on Test Driven Development.

I had the same question initially, I thought tidy first was one of those home keeping books.

a lot of lessons learned from working on software apply to the rest of life!

I think this link to an event his publisher is organizing discusses some relevant context to understand the post: https://www.oreilly.com/live-events/software-architecture-ho...
