Have always personally seen Gherkin being used with Cucumber, as I believe that they're two parts of the same whole, but I'm happy to be corrected if wrong :).

My understanding is that Gherkin is the syntax used to write the scenarios / acceptance criteria, whilst Cucumber is the tool that interprets said scenarios and executes them as automated tests.

The snaps on this are giving me major flashbacks, though I can't put my finger on anything specific. My mum was a seamstress and I'm sure I remember finding and playing with something exactly like this in her room as a kid back in the 80s. Will reply here if it comes back to me :) the fact it's adjustable to fixed intervals via the snaps seems too purposeful and practical, though - especially with the metal presumably giving rigidity to whatever it's used for.

Yep, it's like it's automatically transformed back to normal in my mind's eye :). Mirrored and upside-down presents a little challenge, but everything else is no trouble.

I'm not! I'm barely even right handed, honestly - I'm incredibly uncoordinated.

Me too! I blame it entirely on my literal childhood interpretation of someone telling me to "cross my fingers and toes" - learned how to cross all of my toes, then picking things up came naturally after that 😂

I can read text in any orientation, even if mirrored, as easily as if it was right side up / not mirrored. Not sure why, and almost completely useless, but was surprised to discover that supposedly not everyone can do this?

Have reviewed 16 year old code for a very well known company in the last week with this exact comment peppered throughout, alongside delightfully helpful comments like:

// do not delete or change this it just works

// TODO temporary fix added 12/09/11 to fix incident must be removed ASAP

// CAUTION this returns false here instead of true like it normally does, not sure why

// if true then matched to valid account not is true

It was fun to discover that contact lenses are like a superpower when it comes to cutting onions. Finally, a benefit to being utterly blind!

Actually learned a lot I didn't know about the history of the little town I live in - very cool! Thank you!

Beat me to it! Looks like this is around measure 55 in the second subject of the 1st movement, one of my favourite parts of the piece to play :)

A friend of mine moved to Japan about 10 years ago and has spent a lot of time solo developing his site, Kanpeki Study, for efficiently learning Japanese kanji and vocabulary in bitesize, daily chunks. I'd be doing all his effort a massive disservice if I didn't mention it - hopefully turns out to be a good fit for you 😄.
