I’m in a similar boat. I do like the idea of code as material and this could be a version of that. I find conceptual work is sending me back to paper and lower fidelity even more t…

I still find system tests useful and more realistic, despite their speed. They’ve caught bigger, breaking changes for me than unit or controller tests.

you misspelled "test" as "tets" on the sign in page

Likewise, I found it distracting and off-putting.

Sorry for the resubmit. Just surprised this didn't garner any previous discussion. The part that resonated most with me was: "What bone you were meant to have, no dog will drag awa…
