I've never used any version of Angular, but from what I've seen people complain about it was also a huge breaking change - so much of peoples' apps had to be rewritten they ended up just switching to React or Vue or something

I swear that's what it was called when I was first introduced to it a decade ago. When I first saw one of the posts focused on it on here I didn't initially recognize it as referring to the same thing.

The abstraction leakage in Django is to know whether you should use "select_related" or "prefetch_related".

Yeah, that's what I mean - not what houses are selling for, but what people are looking for/able to buy. Median income in the US is somewhere around 40k-70k/year depending on the source, and the general recommendation is not

I would say it's worse than no test, because it discourages refactoring. Any alterations would make the test fail, even if it still does what it's supposed to do.

This was in django, where a good such test would set up the database, call the function, then check that the new state in the database is as expected. (Which IIRC is what I changed it to)

I think my favorite of these was a function that called 4 other functions and didn't do anything else, its unit test mocked out all 4 other functions and asserted that each was called.

Take a look at the comment I was responding to, as well as some others on this page: It's a common misconception that the unemployment rate spikes ( spikes , not fluctuates slightly higher ) before recessions. It doesn't.

The low unemployment rate indicates we're likely either in or about to start a recession. It generally doesn't spike until months after recessions begin: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRATE
