Backlog

??? words · ??? min read

This is a work in progress from The Pipeline. It will likely change before it is published to the main listing of articles. It is currently at the "backlog" stage.

  • Request specs are good (compare with https://www.codewithjason.com/use-controller-request-specs-rails-dont/)
  • how to know what kind of test to write
  • Three approaches to immutability: deep freeze, shallow freeze, no setters
  • “service object” is a really hazy term (that I don’t use any more)
  • discovery testing for people who have trouble with classical TDD
  • code examples translated into functional style
  • The “single” in SRP isn’t very singular
  • The various messy meanings of the word “model”
  • Convention over configuration is just implicit configuration.
  • Testing the middle (not system tests, not unit tests)
  • Context-style RSpec (zverok style)
  • Example of using Enumerable (replacing chunks of code with enumerable methods)
  • Story: finding and fixing a bug in rubyzip
  • Writing in public: showing backlog and work-in-progress writing
