Creating more than one entry is not a “scaling issue”.
- f35caleb 2y agoAgreed. I'm chuckling because I was wrestling with this exact same bug on a FastAPI project last night. I caught it because I have a habit of submitting API endpoints multiple times with the same data to see how the database reacts. Got a key collision when I tried to submit the endpoint the second time and figured out that setup didn't create a new UUID each time. Unit tests are good, yes. Monitoring is also good. But just taking 30 seconds to do some manual testing will catch a LOT of unexpected behavior.
- withinboredom 2y agoI generally follow this process: 1. Get it working: write the code for the desired behavior, not worrying about making it beautiful, testable, whatever. 2. Get it working well: manually testing and finding edge cases, refactoring to get it testable and writing tests to solidify behavior. 3. Get it working fast: optimizing it to be as fast as I need it to be (can sometimes skip this step). No tests should change here, but only new tests.
