Thanks for the heads up. It’s 10 years old, but I hadn’t seen “Mockists Are Dead. Long Live Classicists.” before (https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/mockists-are-dead-long-live-classicists https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/mockists-are-dead...). The Classicist point of view resonates strongly with me - I’ve long considered mocking in tests to be a code smell, and only usually justified for stubbing external services or hardware.
