Fuck Driven Development (FDD) is a reactive, emotionally-driven software development methodology that begins and ends with a single word: fuck. It embraces the chaos of real-world debugging with full emotional transparency and no apologies.
When things break, you don't reach for a debugger. You reach for rage.
You do not investigate before you express your contempt for the situation. FDD thrives in environments where hope has already died and only profanity remains.
These are the foundational actions of FDD. You do not need to understand them. You will feel when it is time to use them.
Initial reaction. Something’s broken. You say “fuck.”
Now it’s recursive. You’ve tried something. It didn’t work. “Fuck.”
Blame-shifting phase. This is someone else’s fault. Usually Git blame. Possibly Jenkins.
You try the “just restart it” method. Or delete node_modules
.
You begin rolling things back. Version control or server snapshots come into play.
It worked. You don’t know why. You’re afraid to touch it again.
The only reasonable commit message in a post-FDD world.
