Is pushing directly to master still not disabled to this day?
How would you even disable that in github?

Re: Testing at Airbnb
#22Does anybody have recommendations for where/how to start learning best practices for TDD? As (nominally) top nerd at a tiny startup (2 engineers), I feel like I should set a precedent sooner rather than later for testing. This is currently not possible since I don't know anything about it, so any resources would be appreciated :) Edit: Primarily looking for resources involving Node.js and client-side testing of a jQu…
I found http://www.letscodejavascript.com/ very useful.
Wow, looks really helpful. I'm definitely going to try out their trial. Thanks!

I've been setting up client side testing with grunt+browserify+karma+jasmine lately. It's pretty freaking powerful. But, none of the usual suspects for mocking http.get requests work well with it (sinon fails to execute in a browserify test environment; nock expects to be running in a node environment with the ClientRequest object available).

For node + browser, I'm partial to substack's tape module[1][2] to output tap. Works great with browserify too. [1] https://github.com/substack/tape [2] http://www.catonmat.net/blog/writing-javascript-tests-with-t...
This looks awesome, thanks! Definitely what I was looking for.

#25Pretty interesting that according to him, Airbnb didn't really have a functioning testing infrastructure only a year ago. So you really can hit a billion dollars in valuation without testing :)
or worse, you can only hit a billion dollars in valuation without testing. (might be a true statement.)
I disagree with this pretty strongly. Somebody posed a similar question in the blog comments, and I think I did a decent job of answering it: http://nerds.airbnb.com/testing-at-airbnb/#comment-13289

TDD isn't a tool or a library, and thus isn't specific to a language or a framework - it's a philosophy.
Get, read and understand Kent Beck: "Test driven development by example". The rest will follow naturally.

Despite of what developers like to think, success is not linked to technical competence. Achieving the former allows you to address the latter.

When writing tests, the key to remember is to write what you wish you had. Othe than that, are you on Express.js? Also, have you ever tried QUnit?

why is sinon failing to execute in browserify? It's supposed to be stand-alone. Is it being included correctly?
