Releasing an episode almost every weekday has been loads of fun. Even more

exciting is to see the responses from my listeners. But I have to admit

that I am going a bit too fast. I need more time to let the new things I

have learned sink in. Especially since there are so many things I have

covered now. 50 (!!) episodes. So I will take it down a notch and release 2

or 3 shows per week going forward.

In version 2016.1 PhpStorm has a really enticing feature to rerun only your

failed unit tests after a full run. So instead of messing around on the

command line to run only specific tests that have failed the IDE lets you

do this with the click of a button.
