I think Ryan Bates "How I test" screencast is a great example. It's specific to rails but I've used this approach on web applications in a few different frameworks. http://railscasts.com/episodes/275

I couldn't agree more. The pipe dream is that you have BAs or other non-technical team members write the Gherkin specs and that saves the developers time because "the tests practically write themselves!" (Assuming you're

I may be reading it wrong, but in the benchmarks the author linked to showing database-access responses per second on EC2 Rails was getting ~700 and .net MVC getting a max of 1400 with a min of 400. That seems about equivalent given the bes

I've actually been quite impressed with C# and .net as well, I can't always afford to use it, but it wasn't at all unpleasant to develop an app in. The thing is, by the criteria and benchmarks the author of this post is using

Perhaps I've just missed it in the past but where does Rails advocate testing parameter types? There are examples of testing model validations, but you would want to test that in a strongly typed language as well. I don't think I&

I am unsure as to what purpose the game aspect serves, if you're installing this is a browser extension couldn't you just give the service access to all your cookies all at once rather than having to 'mine' them? What am

Reddit can be a cesspool too, just in different ways.

How does the rambling blog post relate to this strange title?

If you're relying solely on an undergraduate degree in CSE to cover these topics then you're probably also lacking these skills, at least in a truly meaningful way.

This is great, I have some JSfiddle examples that I share occasionally that reference some raw files an Github, this fixes them in Chrome. Seems like the perfect use case for this.

Another day, another link-bait, faux controversy post about testing on HN. TLDR: Writing bad tests makes for a bad time. Do we need a whole article to cover that? As a side note, all this recent hand wringing over testing reminds me so much

Same for me as well, I had previously used Backbone heavily at work (which is still awesome), but wanted to try something new. Angular has good docs, tutorials, screencasts and a very active Google Group with pretty helpful people.

EF really isn't that bad anymore, the 1.0 times were rough but it's gotten much better. I agree with your your example though, as well as your point about the model/repository being whatever the native ORM interface is. If you're using EF a

That's not the tone I got from the article at all. Your comment seems incredibly defensive and largely blinded by your own experience, how is your view any more valid than his? You must have never encountered any of the numerous CS graduate

I really don't think that's the case anymore. At the most recent RubyConf in Denver there was nothing but love for the JVM, running Ruby on it, and even utilizing Java itself when the need arose.
