I was in a car with several greenhorns.

One of them said they were in it for the precision. Like math. As though there were explicitly correct answers/ways of getting things done. I found that humorous but couldn't really explain to them why.

I feel like the segment of our tribe which came by similar footsteps as that line of thinking though... Upon discovering it doesn't really exist, they set about construction of these various frameworks for perfection and pedantry. Like facades built for personal security these guardrails protecting from the great unknown.

It's not all at all bad. It's only the purists I can't stomach. We can entertain "true TDD" or whatever we want from a theoretical/discussion sort of stance. That's awesome. However, I think for some purists this is explicitly antithetical to their puritanical goal of nailing down the 'one right answers' and then never thinking about them or discussing them again.
