Oh my god someone posted to Reddit they just bought a hard drive and it’s making grinding sounds. They posted a video. It’s the read head moving. They’ve never heard a hard drive before. 💀

Is there value in a test that never fails?
Trisha Gee@trisha_gee25 Sep 2023
Folks who have a LOT of automated tests for your app(s). Do you actively do anything to reduce the number of tests you have? Do you identify duplication / different tests that test the same functionality? If so, do you use this information to reactor/reduce your tests?

I often think code-and-fix is like playing the lottery. Lots of little investments, over a long time, very occasionally you get a big win. TDD is like scratch cards. Lots of small investments over and over, but you get a small win pretty regularly.

You’ve written a test. You know it will fail. Run the test before you start fixing the code. Please. I promise it’s worth it.

The best use of chat GPT I’ve seen so far: wtfdoesthiscompanydo.vercel.… Can’t understand a company website? This will figure it out for you. Exasperated by the website? It’ll also take the piss out of it.

Kids wanted to watch some of the coronation. The fawning @BBC commentary makes it unwatchable. Imagine it’s the same on every channel.

What #OpenSource projects are known for being 💖 to new contributors? Which would you recommend to someone who's new to open source and needs a supportive community to get started? (apart from @cucumberbdd of course 😀)

Great case study of a team moving away from pull requests to using TDD and ensembling. I love to work like this, and you can mattwynne.net/hire-me if you'd like me to share that love with your team!

Excellent blog post on Trunk Based Development in preference to Feature Branching here: "When you have a team, or teams, however, working on a project together, feature branching creates problems" infobip.com/developers/blog/…

Still using feature branching? Try trunk-based development instead. 

After a year of trunk-based development, I’m happy to give up on pull requests and feature branching. Here's why.
