@macgybo
Welcome to the fediverse!
o7
is the tag you want here and is how you showed up in my feed. (All lowercase will do, but the caps make reading easier.)

Here is something that belongs in the files for @lowqualityfacts

I got an email today that said, in part:

"Did you know that French people rarely suffer from constipation?

"That’s right, they regularly poop more than any other country in the world."

The case for Nushell, https://www.jntrnr.com/case-for-nushell/.

Relevant article about shells, and how Nushell pushes the boundaries further. I highly recommend reading it.

This is my father now with Windoze on his desktop and iOS on his iPad. By the end of 2023, he will likely quit them all. This is a man who used to program stuff in assembly code.

Me, on this extra-hard legacy project where something outside of my control fails every other day (infrastructure, aggressive security police, etc.)

I have a graduate degree in a field that is mostly about interpreting obscure documents.

And yet, understanding these financial policy documents my kid's university sent me last week and which they insist contain directions for processes I must complete by tomorrow without fail utterly eludes me.

I think this weekend it might be time to (yet again) re-start my blog, which has been neglected lo for many a month, going on a year.
The most recent iteration is built on Eleventy, but for the next incarnation, I’m thinking Laravel.

What a strange day it's been already. And it's only just past lunch.

I have only recently learned of the "before" attribute in @phpunit. It seems appealing. What I don't get is... why would I ever use setUp() when I can instead use a before method? It seems like the easier, more portable solution in ever case except when I actively want to bypass a parent class's setUp().

(Same for beforeClass.)

@Crell @phpunit I'm probably speaking out of turn, but after several conversations with @sebastian, I've stopped using setUp() at all. Neither do I use before. At first it seemed contraindicated, but I don't miss it. Nearly always there is a better way of setting up. And if setting up a test is complicated enough that I need setup or before, it's usually a code smell.

The second thing coverage data showed goes to TDD is hard:

We have several classes with around 25-30% coverage.

Why? Because the team TDD'd the first method on these classes, but then wrote 2 or 3 other methods afterwards without any tests at all.

It's not that we didn't want to do TDD. It's old habits die hard. These are are mostly 1- and 2-line methods. And we'd written lots of methods like them before.

Stopping to think about the test when you already "know" the answer is hard.
