The first 5 minutes of this video cleared up so much for me: I am not a software developer. I don't work for a software company. I don't plan on being a software developer. I don't plan on working at a software company. I just write apps & libraries for myself, and sometimes I share them with the open-source community. But for some reason I still want to learn about unit testing and see if it can help my specific situation (learning to code better).
starting to follow along with this unit test course, just had a brown out and had to restart. however, can't help but be bugged by seeing the "solution explorer" on the left 😂, It's probably gonna be a good journey either way, even though I get bugged by small things like that. btw, doing the course because I'm on my 2nd year of my 2nd dev job, used to be a desktop technician, but got pulled into dev allegedly for my work ethic in the same company as my last desktop technician job (I had intention of staying there, until covid came and took jobs away, and now I work 50km from my house instead of just 5km, hoping learning the various things I check online can get me something fully remote).
thanks for this. Nice simple unit test tutorial. I'm also an audio guy and I just want to point out, you have a pop filter on your mic, but all your "p"s and strong breaths are "popping". Try backing the filter off of the mic and bring down the input gain. 🙂
Biggest thing with the code just breaking, years ago some dolt re-wrote a formula, had no unit tests, pushed it. They were missing a part of it in the "cleaned up" version so of course ti wasn't mathing properly. We spent who know's how long searching for the error in the entire freaking project, step, by, step, and then had to go get a fish and slap the person with it for changing a + to a - in the formula... Unit tests, they exist, require them, if people don't, throw their commits anywhere else but the main repo until they have them. Thousands of lines of game and networking code, for a freaking - sign being the wrong in some random function we all thought was fine because this same idiot likes to make 40+ file huge commits of tiny things and it got burried in one of those. Just use the freaking unit tests please and thank you. xD
Looking back on it, I think I came in at a bad time. Everything was falling apart and I think people were secretly panicking but I was too new to understand what was really going on.
Please reconsider saying, "we're going to", "go ahead", "actually", or any combination of them. 🤢 It will make your videos shorter and your content more digestible.
