TDD != Unit testing TDD: Write one failing test BEFORE coding


Imaging coding without worrying about what you're forgetting... That's what TDD feels like 🚀


Cutting corners with code tends to cost you far more time than it saves. Do it right #buildinpublic


Windows updates still take forever to finish after reformatting 🙄


Failures from code running code in different languages are REALLY hard to debug. Before chasing rabbit holes, make sure you update versions and fix all warnings #buildinpublic


Processing a massive amount of data in parallel is oddly satisfying, when it's all working #buildinpublic


Knowing your team has your back is priceless when you're feeling under the weather. Take care of your people #buildinpublic


Higher order functions => No more copy/pasted code Nice! #buildinpublic


TDD was never about test coverage It's all about design Test first => better design #buildinpublic


Finding unnoticed holes in CI after the fact makes for a tough day #buildinpublic


Nothing feels so 🪄 as to refactor after you have full test coverage. The magic test everything button 👌🫶 #buildinpublic


Bright side of ChatGPT going down: finally, I have time to check out the competition 👀 #buildinpublic


It's amazing how much work can be saved by developers building simple tools for internal, non-developer use #buildinpublic


The moment of peace after deploying something big... and it's all working


Messy UI code, but not sure how to fix it? Study up on state management. The right pattern makes the complexity disappear 🪄 #buildinpublic


Software has no prototypes. Whatever you code WILL be used in production. Do it right, or else #buildinpublic


Using serverless? Make sure to test with only a few items at a time. If things go wrong, you could end up with a VERY big bill 😬 #buildinpublic


Not sure why your DB query is taking SO long? You need Postgres EXPLAIN. Tells what the DB will for a given query. Then dump the results into ChatGPT for ideas for optimizing #buildinpublic


No joke - going serverless helps you write better code 💡 Smaller functions for the win 🎉 #buildinpublic


ChatGPT is not good at mocking in unit tests. Why does it so often screw this up? 🤔
