Describes adopting the test && commit || revert workflow (CCR) used after a Kent Beck code camp, implemented as a script that runs Elm compilation and elm-test, then does git add + git commit or git reset --hard on failure. Claims it forces much smaller steps, produces lots of tiny commits (easy to squash on a feature branch), improves refactoring confidence and test-writing, and measurably speeds development while keeping the repo always in a valid state.
