David - I will share the original context and my thinking. I ask a favour. In returning for hijacking my thread whose purpose was to help a 16yr old, please offer a book recommendation. Background:

One problem with Boolean parameters is that it’s hard to evolve them when the two cases become three :)

My experience is different— I had GPT or copilot help me in some relatively hairy algorithms; it saved me a ton of time. Eg loading a bunch of bitmaps in JavaScript and then executing a callback

Hmmm ... just my $0.02, but I don't really agree with either one of those. * It *could* mean that you have 2 functions crammed together. Or it could not. * Depending on the language, readability is

Yes - few Swift/SwiftUI devs doing unit testing… I cast blame upon the leadership of this ecosystem… for setting a poor example (as leader). Imagine if every App Apple produced since 2007 had a

Is it OK to post job ads on this forum? The reason I'm considering it is that we'd like to find a tech lead with good TDD in a region where I don't have local connections and what we've seen so far

Programming JavaScript Applications by Eric Elliott may have what you're looking for. Some of the chapter headings include, but aren't limited to : Functions, Objects, Modules, and Separation of

I'm also currently working on platform work. How do you use tdd in platform work? I'm struggling with it. Or do you setup chaos engineering instead?

A boolean parameter means you have two functions crammed together, and they should therefore be two different functions. Most importantly though, nobody reading the code can know what that boolean

I've spent the last 15+ years teaching people TDD. When I'm engaged by clients on other work i.e. where teaching TDD is not my main brief, I invariably find that poor test-after (if at all) is the

Alright, I'll bite: what is the issue you see with having a boolean parameter? DR

For years, across multiple employers, I actually had a fair bit of success in evangelizing TDD. I noticed two keys: 1. There was an objective measure of quality that everyone monitored and cared, and

Mike Hill <mailto:mike.hill@...> June 22, 2023 at 7:59 PM Had I to guess, and I've had other of us first-generation graybeards guess, too, with similar response: I'd guess that?TDD as a

All of my attempts to use chatgpt to help with real coding problems have resulted in failures for me. Test scenarios with well known problems like fuzzbuzz have been fun and I was amazed at the good

I have used GitHub Copilot in my hobby project— it’s javascript and I don’t know the language well, so it often suggests code that’s better than what I would write. It does work with TDD, sort

Had I to guess, and I've had other of us first-generation graybeards guess, too, with similar response: I'd guess that TDD as a practice has well under 1% mindshare. Very bad test-after is the trade

David - thanks as always for responding in any context. I haven’t so much decided on the programming language, as her class taught her JavaScript. Next year they will do Java. I’ve started to

Well it appears you have selected JavaScript. So I’d read about its few good qualities JavaScript: The Good Parts: The Good Parts amazon.comBut be forewarned it’s mostly bad See Douglas Crockford:

On the weekend I was helping my youngest daughter with an unfairly difficult programming project for Gr 11 Computing Science. They were expected to write a web application that retrieves data from a

That’s a great insight Jeff - I wonder has anyone played with that idea. Have you? I use ChatGPT to generate some good user stories for a test case - A Travel App, and found it quite acceptable PO
