Carter Morgan and Nathan Toups read and discuss the first half of "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" by Michael Feathers. Join them as they reflect on dependency inversion, the importance of interfaces, and continue their never-ending debate on the pros and cons of Test-Driven Development!
(The audio gets a little de-synced in the last three minutes. Carter isn't talking over Nathan on purpose!)
