I think one of the biggest issues is the definitions we use. Some developers would define mock in the wide sense, as any kind of double to replace a dependency. Other developers have a narrower definition, as doubles that verify interaction

Same feeling, the other day I spent just too much time trying to find a chart comparing Messi against Ronaldinho. I mean two of the greatest players ever, how is it possible that I couldn’t find a good page, tons of SEO garbage pages.

Junk apps have taught me that a spinner that takes too much time could be an indication of failure though. The user will be inclined to refresh or close the app.

This is it. I hated it too the first time I tried it. Then I watched a couple of videos and the experience was totally different.

“Available to average people” that’s what amazes me. I remember when I played with an iPhone for the first time. It was an amazing device, but I thought it was a luxury device for rich people only. A few years later smartphones got a lot co

As a kid I felt my family was “poor”. My uncles and aunts had bigger and nicer houses/cars than my parents. My cousins had really cool toys and they rarely got a no when they wanted an expensive candy. My foolish child mind saw all tha

Isn’t it weird that pirates are a kids thing? I wonder if 3 centuries in the future kids will watch narco cartoons.

When I was a jr dev, getting exceptions was a synonymous of ”me messing something up”. Null exceptions were specially annoying, so the naive approach is to check for nulls and avoid the code that will cause the exception. And it “works”! Yo

Thanks, yes, I meant shouting. I’ve lived in both gated and non-gated. And gated neighborhoods are significantly more quiet.

I love to read this kind of articles. The kind that clicks in your mind right away. Experience probably has already taught you some of these ideas, but you hadn’t invested the time to reason about them and putting them together. Then you re
