Yep - jest.

I can see: > Integration with your test framework and programming language any indication which languages/frameworks? I've got a fair sized typescript monorepo with a build/test cy…

It does in Australia: https://www.amberelectric.com.au/ (disclaimer: I work there)

Tangentially related but in Australia we run a household utility company that operates of that same assumption: https://www.amberelectric.com.au/ Our hypothesis is that market sign…

A few good ones that haven't been mentioned yet: * "IBM's 360 and Early 370 Systems " https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/ibms-360-and-early-370-system... * "Broad Band: The Untold Stor…

Post author here - logging off to go to bed because it's bedtime down under. Will pop by again in the morning. Thanks for reading and all your comments.

I agree and trying to cover that education gap is what I'm trying to achieve with the post (and the product behind it)

I definitely overstated here sorry. Found the excerpt I was remembering in my copy of code complete "On a project that uses inspections for design and code, the inspections will ta…

Those are all really good points. I have a recollection of seeing a study once that found the best balance point of review time vs dev time but haven't found it again. I recall it …

> For sure, it's important to keep an eye on the code review culture, though. It's easy for code review to degenerate into nitpicking small things like whitespace, naming, coding c…

There was an old Tom DeMarco article I'm a fan of: http://www.systemsguild.com/pdfs/DeMarcoNov2011.pdf In it he has a pretty interesting insight about late projects. "If a project …

That's not really true. A better formulation is that there's no way to manage programming productivity cheaply and/or non-intrusively. I agree that the bulk of X vs Y comparisons a…

I'm not super across the evidence on pair programming so I'd hate to try and have a definitive answer. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mckinley/305j/pair-hcs-2006.... suggests it's…

Author here. The post is largely written from a point of personal experience and philosophy but that's the one statement I'm comfortable saying has empirical backing. I link to htt…

Hi - author here. The quality assertions are the most defensible empirically. I wrote the post at the office away from my bookshelf which was the main thing keeping me from includi…

I can recommend Stay Awhile and Listen by David L. Craddock which tells the story of how the original Diablo was made. It's mostly told in interviews, so while it's not a single de…

I think the trademark issue should be OK. My understanding is that you can have overlap in trademarked names when it's in very different markets, but IANAL

That is some mean-spirited internetting right there. From the title I was hoping it was a 500 page that git blames the backtrace and tells the user who specifically messed up.

I've been using wercker to test and auto deploy a few sideproject go apps and the process has been really smooth. I'm about to switch one over to their new ssh deploy stuff and wil…
