This rule is also recommended by section 9.2.4. "Only mock types that you own" of 2020 book by Vladimir Khorikov: "Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns". Worth noting is that book also says in 9.2.1: "Mo

I’ve been struggling with the same problem and found a solution that works for me. I was procrastinating up to 8 hours per day, on average. The core idea is to make a contract with oneself to not exceed a daily budget of procrastination and

I think it is fair to not spend time and resources engaging with such ideas, as long as there is a good "decision record" documentation explaining that this subject was already discussed, decisions were made, and there is no point

That's exactly my point. Understanding the dependent context can be considered the "advanced morality" the parent post asked about.

And how do you know if they are sensitive? Are you going to ask them, or not? If not, why not? If yes, would it still be the golden rule? Or perhaps platinum rule - do unto others as -they- wish, not as -you-. What I am trying to say is tha

On an "abstract/fuzzy" level I would say that a class with several hundreds lines of code means you are missing some terms in your domain language dictionary. For example, you might be doing a lot of inline operations on stri

Naturally, I agree that the shouldExecute / ValidateSyntax methods should be tested too, but this is not the whole story. Let me clarify my point with a more precise example. Let's say we want to test this: ParseUrlDomainAndPath(s

This article espouses what is known as "classicist testing" school of thought and rejects "mockist/London-style testing". I wholeheartedly agree with it. I have been championing it in my team of 20+ devs since many

Key observation: you lose when switching the door only if your first pick was winning. Your first pick had 1/3 chance of winning. So switching has 1/3 chance of losing. Thus it has 1 - 1/3 == 2/3 chance of winning.
