Curious Coders Chronicles

Bouwe.IO and RichStone.IO identified common focus blocks and creation obstacles and devised a set of solutions to get yourself unlocked. If that doesn't help you, it should at least give you some tools to get started and experiment with something new.

Social media is not always fun but as developers it's also a learning tool and a way to socialize. You can keep focused on Twitter too, even if it seems like the SM world (and sometimes your brain) is imploding.

In this episode, Bouwe and Rich discuss and give some guidelines on how to make testing more useful and (who knows!) more fun.

As a developer, writing tests is a necessity. It automates the confidence that our code (or our app) works now, and will keep on working. And if you use TDD, it can even guide you in structuring code well. However, despite these benefits, many developers consider testing to be a necessary evil, sometimes not even useful, and definitely not fun. So let's talk about how we can make testing more useful and even perhaps fun, by deciding WHAT and HOW to test.
