The “official conversation” is happening here:
There they tell users that “You stay in control”. Unfortunately, their new Terms of Use say that:
“Every once in a while, Mozilla may decide to update these Terms. We will post the updated Terms online. We will take your continued use of Firefox as acceptance of such changes.”
No matter how common this has become over the past years, this is quite unacceptable, and Firefox users deserve better from Mozilla. The fact that they can unilaterally change the terms and users are automatically bound to them (as soon as they use the browser again - even if they’re using it to open the document where they can see the date on the terms!) is not a fair agreement - and works against the claim that “You stay in control”.

@mozillaofficial@mozillaofficial decided to add “Terms of Use” to #Firefox.
If you just asked “WTF?”, welcome to the club.
Of course, this doesn’t make sense, it couldn’t be just like that… so I went on and read the terms. The trick is specifically on this bit:
“These Terms only apply to the Executable Code version of Firefox, not the Firefox source code.”
So sure, Firefox is still the Free Software codebase you were used to, only now if you want to use not the code but Mozilla’s distributed binaries, you’ll do so while also agreeing to some Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The trick is, of course, to not use their binaries. In practice, things are a bit trickier. Ubuntu, for instance, was more than happy to ditch their self-compiled Firefox packages and use Mozilla-provided snaps instead.
But trickier or not… well, Mozilla has just made an unhappy user base unhappier - and I hope they reap what they are sowing.

This is cool but I miss easier interaction O:)
Amd of course, TDD! I tried that, but it doesn’t work all that great for me in its strict form. I have the feeling that coming up with a single new failing test, making it pass, maybe some refactoring, rinse and repeat wastes significantly more time than doing it in – what they call – the “bundle” approach. Coming up with several tests in advance and then writing the code or vise versa is usually much quicker. I do find that more enjoyable, it also helps me to reduce smaller context switches. I can focus on either the tests or the production code.
As for the potentially reduced code coverage with a non-TDD approach, I can easily see which parts are lacking tests and hand them in later. So, that’s largely a specious argument. Granted, I can forget to check the coverage or simply ignore it.
I agree with John, TDD results in less elegant code or requires more refactoring to tidy it up. Sometimes, it’s also not entirely clear at the beginning how the API should really look like. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. Especially when experimenting or trying out different approaches. With TDD, I then also have to refactor the tests which is not only annoying, but also involves the danger of accidentally breaking them.
TDD only works really well, if you have super tiny functions. But we already established that I typically don’t like tiny methods just for the purpose of them being extremely short.
When fixing a bug, I usually come up with a failing test case first to verify that my repaired code later actually resolves the problem. For new code, it depends, sometimes tests first, sometimes the productive code first. Starting off with the tests requires the API to be well defined beforehand.
