Watching Vance and Johnson try to school the Pope is an exercise in hilarity.

MCE 2014: Jon Reid - Test Driven Development for iOS (and anything) Test Driven Development seems like a good idea... for simple code that has no dependencies! But iOS code depends on Foundation, UIKit... we're doing a lot of networking and UI... you may think that TDD just doesn't work in such cases (eliminating most of your code). But that's just not so! In this talk, Jon Reid will show you how to turn dependencies around so you can write code that is testable. We'll look at tests, stubs and mocks, and an example of testing networking code.

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "We need more religion in politics."

[Pope uses religion to criticize Trump.]

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "Keep your religion out of our politics!!!"

I really don't get "spec-based development," which is nothing but a fancy way to describe a phase-gated "waterfall." An upfront specification is never correct, at least if our goal is to develop software people actually want to use. The more detailed and larger the spec, the less correct it is.

Oh good. Happy for you, Amitai.

Third-party tools aren't ideal—but they're essential. Apple's never solved SwiftUI testing. The community has. Meet ViewInspector. https://qualitycoding.org/viewinspector-risks-benefits/

Code diff. Before: @Test("Current app version is valid") func appVersionCurrent() async throws After: @Test func `Current app version is valid`

Finally! Discovered thanks to running SwiftFormat over this project. Swift 6.2 means you can write backtick test names (like Kotlin).

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

#Pragma Conference 2016 - Jon Reid - Taming MVC with Model View Presenter Untamed MVC leads to “massive view controller”. While MVVM is a popular alternative among iOS developers, Jon will show his favorite approach: Model View Presenter.

It's finally time for me to make my next video demonstrating TDD with SwiftUI. I reviewed a scratch video from 7 months ago. I was shocked to see that the AI tool I was using then was GitHub Copilot: not much more than single-line completion!

I'm looking for Ottawa/Gatineau folks willing to help me with some office space. I am thinking of scheduling a remote workshop that would run 2 hours on 2 consecutive days, particularly May 12 and 13.

Your alt text is killing me!

Brian Zahnd: You can justify wars of conquest with the Bible, but you have to ignore Jesus to do it. Using the Bible to ignore Jesus is the worst thing you can do with the Bible. The question isn't, "Is it biblical?" Wars of conquest, the institution of slavery, death sentence for adultery, and women as property are all biblical. The question is, "Is it Christlike?"

Not integration. Augmented coding.

No, that’s not Zathras, that’s Zathras

Wow!

Use This Instead of Xcode's "Unit Test Case Class" to Streamline Your Flow Do you use Xcode's "Unit Test Case Class" for new files? It's full of noise and waste. Go lean and save time by using my template instead.
