The ladder of bug discovery joy in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That's a good question. For me it's not really about it running all the time but it's about not having to spend any mental effort to switching "mode"and running the tests. With this and the IDE integration it really makes testing a first class activity. I think wallaby that I linked has some videos of the experience which might make more sense than my words.

Most continuous test runners don't actually run on every key stroke but wait until it's syntactically valid. It's also common for them to do some smart diff and only re-run a subset of the tests.

A blog post on choosing more specific types rather than general ones like list and dict.

Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral? in c/[email protected]

Slightly off topic but I really like the approach where the honorific is just dropped entirely. So just [Name]. No Mr/Ms/Mrs. It mostly doesn't serve any purpose anyway.
