Whereas, mocking or faking is concerned with testing the implementation of the code. Because it has the assumption that the thing being mocked accurately reflects the <strong>real-world</strong> use of the thing being mocked.</p> <p>However, no matter how close a mock gets the the actual thing it is suppose to represent it will never be that thing. Yet, mocking isn&rsquo;t evil and is a valid means of making progress when stuck on writing tests, and having some tests is better than having 0 tests.</p>https://t0ul.com/blog/how-to-give-feedback-on-pull-requests/Thu, 19 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://t0ul.com/blog/how-to-give-feedback-on-pull-requests/<h2 id="intro">Intro</h2> <p>I have a lot of pull requests during my first year of software engineering, and most of them have been for code and documentation. I have learned from feedback from other team members (or lack of response) what works and what does not. So here is how I go about providing feedback.</p> <h2 id="how-to-give-feedback-on-prs-related-to-code-changes">How to give feedback on PR&rsquo;s related to code changes</h2> <p>In general analyzing code changes are easier because one easy way to see if the proposed changes should get the +1 or not is if the system does not break.</p>https://t0ul.com/blog/how-i-use-test-driven-development/Sun, 15 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://t0ul.com/blog/how-i-use-test-driven-development/<h2 id="how-does-test-driven-development-impact-the-software-i-create">How does Test-Driven Development Impact the Software I create?</h2> <p>I remember starting as an entry-level software engineer and hearing senior engineers on my team get into heated debates about Test-Driven Development (TDD).</p> <p>At the time, I was against it because it seemed like extra work. All I wanted was to finish <strong>feature</strong> of the week.</p> <p>However, it all changed after my first feature went into production and caused me and other engineers hours of headaches.</p>https://t0ul.com/blog/junior-software-engineer-tips/Wed, 11 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://t0ul.com/blog/junior-software-engineer-tips/<h3 id="introduction">Introduction</h3> <p>I&rsquo;ve learned to do the following as a junior software engineer during my first year in industry.</p> <p><strong>TL;DR</strong></p> <ul> <li>Write a design document</li> <li>Document as much as possible</li> <li>Test-Driven Development but not 100% test coverage</li> <li>Log as much as possible</li> </ul> <h3 id="1-i-learned-to-start-with-a-design-document">1.)

Yet, the public education system has not caught up with this shift and is still equipping graduates with an Industrial Age skillset. A skillset that does not enable participation in the Information Age Economy.</p> <h2 id="comparison-of-skillsets">Comparison of Skillsets</h2> <p>Before going further, here is a basic comparison of skillsets to keep in mind when thinking about public k-12.</p>https://t0ul.com/blog/how-i-became-a-software-engineer/Fri, 06 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://t0ul.com/blog/how-i-became-a-software-engineer/<h2 id="high-school">High School</h2> <p>I went to school, where the graduating class was only 200 people, and there were not any programming classes. Neither one of my parents were STEM majors; both were blue-collar workers with zero interest in modern technology.</p> <p>Because of my parent&rsquo;s lack of interest in technology, our household did not have a computer until 7th grade, and it was only for homework assignments (MS Word).</p>
