  1. The post-TDD generation will need to find new ways to ensure testability of code. Code might not need much unit-testing but still needs to support future testing when it becomes necessary. If TDD is dropped, either new versions of compilers will need to take care of testability or new lint tools (worse case scenario - linting is admission of failure) or new kinds of modularity will be needed to isolate unit-testable code from untestable code in a way which supports untestable older legacy code too.

  2. Back in days before TDD, we longed for software development to be more professional and respected. After earnest endeavours towards this goal we started to see it taught as a respected discipline in universities. TDD helped raise the bar in promoting it as a sophisticated engineering practice. Now two decades later the university graduates don’t even want to touch the likes of TDD. Are we seeing the end of a rise and fall of software engineering and with it the demise of professional quality software development?
