On more than one occasion I've started with a simple table for all tenants (where tenant = x) because we didn't know at the time if we will have many. Then progressively when we understood how the service will be used, refactored

I have built many over the years in Java but nothing is public, I was thinking of abstracting away a Microservice template as a starting point for my projects. What you are mentioning is a very specific example of that, happy to have a chat

I think the world needs, "Scala, the Good Parts". Hope this book is it.

Yeah, I am getting the same impression that the personal might have ads? not sure. I am trying it now and the trial version doesn't show me ads, at least not yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting, didn't know about SetApp before, thanks. I wonder how they manage around DRM rights with the individual app publisher?

Ooh yeah. If you have ever integrated with Vantiv you will know what all this means. Heavy lifting is on the customer side. What a pain

Very useful article. Learned a couple of new things here. While reading the idea that I know most of this, would that made me a data scientist? Jumped at me. But then I quickly recovered from that thought that surely knowing some of the too

yup, got the same reply back as well. Glad that our voice was heard

That's interesting, thanks for (re)sharing

fair enough, thank you :)

Great article and nice style distilling all this into a bite size chunks. Is it me or just the title is a little bit inaccurate in the sense that there's more to "How containers work?" than overlays, e.g. it made me think tha

Yes, it's a welcomed side effect of TDD'ing, TDD is more of a design tool. But also I have experimented with writing tests before/after the implementation. Code with tests written first seemed to always be just to the point a

Yes, I understand what you mean. When I face uncertainty, I explore with not so much emphasis on testing. But once I am over with that exploratory phase, I funnel the learning into the TDD process to solidify my implementation and guide my

> This is a good point. Just like with anything in engineering understanding the process is more important than just following some steps because you think you should. Music to my ears. We've been all at some point or another being

TDD is also a design tool. I agree for newly written code, yes. Writing a test before fixing a bug reveals the bug and solidify a proof that the fix addresses it adequately. So in this context, it's less about the design (since it&#x27

What code won't benefit from unit testing ? If you don't know what to test, then you don't know what you are implementing. Find what that is, clarify it and pin it down with a test then move on to the implementation to make i

exactly, lots of people are missing the point.

> Do you write tests before the implementation? Absolutely, day in day out. New code and bugs fixing a like. It's the proof that I need to know that whatever code I am doing is an exact fit to the problem it's trying to solve.

yeah, that's the problem. If they don't get the value of what a test gives them, and then the focus shifts to aesthetics and conventions, etc... Personally when I review code, I look for the test, I need to find a way to tell me w

by hackerm0nkey 7y ago
tests can be used to clarify your intentions and what you are attempting to build. It's best place when you are actually starting from a clean slate. Just write enough code to make the test pass, no more no less. Refactor and repeat. I

I have never done that in the past and entertaining the idea of resurrecting older macs I have and install a Linux distro on them. I was concerned that I might run into driver issues and such and thought to see what others have experienced

I’ve started my career very early on on the age of 16 as a system admin. Heart and soul was on pure engineering and less on what people label these things on CVs. A few years later I moved up the stack into a full time programmer and been d
