Taylor Swift fans trying to convince you they actually think her music is good is like professional wrestling fans trying to convince you they think it's real. It's a mass gaslighting campaign and on some level they know it.

It's kayfabe for white millennial women.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Sometimes the correct pants is leggings, and more often than they want you to think, the correct pants is no pants

Em 🏳️‍⚧️🦀 @msnook.xyz · 20d

Step one for LOTS of things is to put on the correct pants for the task at hand

d'y'all like my icons? we are doing a UX pass looking at navigation, discoverability of features, hinting at happy paths, etc. And icons are always a favourite topic to nerd out about with your designer pals :))

deck settings section called "your daily goal", there are three options, "10 - relaxed", "15 - standard", and "20 - serious". the icons are relaxed: a kitty cat; standard: 3 scoops of ice cream; serious: a rocket ship.

okay hear me out – if we legalised insider trading there'd be no need for senators to help the companies they've -already- invested in, because they could change up their investments on the fly

and then I just `pnpm test` and it spins up that little web interface showing me everything about my test suite. very simple!! github.com/mhsnook/sunl...

Add: vitest and vitest-ui by mhsnook · Pull Request #184 · mhsnook/sunlo

The point of this PR is to set up the framework and get a small handful of tests going, then we will merge and move forward.

Vitest was really easy to set up.

The AI wrote almost all of this first commit: github.com/mhsnook/sunl...

There's one config file and one utils file; the rest is test content. But I don't know yet because I'm only testing static Js function; not testing hooks, rendering, or integration yet.

in the code editor in the browser, and watch it re-run the tests and let me know which ones passed and which ones failed, and exactly when and where and why. I am really excited now. This should be fun.

Em 🏳️‍⚧️🦀 @msnook.xyz · Sep 4

And as I was thinking these things through, I was considering different aspects of the risk in my code and the distance between different certainties that I rely on. It's a wonderful feeling, to have some contrl over this. To have a beautiful visual UI in front of my where I can type right there...

that the input to that function was actually always guaranteed to be an array, and never null or undefined. My types ensure this already, but it may be a good thing to write tests for too, bc this one is critical for the UI to display properly in a number of situations.

Em 🏳️‍⚧️🦀 @msnook.xyz · Sep 4

One of the failing tests was inputing values that my TS types had already ruled out, so I corrected the input (from `undefined` to `[]`) and the test started passing. It's a good test, to ensure empty states are handled well, but the input type was wrong.

But it made me double-check that...

it feels after just an hour with it. I had an AI handle the boilerplate for me; it wrote me 7 tests for my most brittle function (which I asked it to look at first), and included mock data based on my ~99% coverage TS types. 2 tests failed right away; I could see them clearly in the web interface...

a screenshot of my vitest ui: a browser window, with a list of all my tests on the left and red ones for where i have failing tests; 7 different assertions, with 1 failing. On the right, I can see all the code, including highlighted red on the offending lines. I can type right there in the code editor and it will rerun my tests in live-time.

Em 🏳️‍⚧️🦀 @msnook.xyz · Sep 4

I have gone my entire dev life without really getting into tests (although I think I have a feeling for what pieces of a thing need to be tested, or are brittle when refactoring or moving; I've never written them myself).

I'm trying vitest-ui for the first time and it is INSANE how helpful

I am the type person who will start replying to your comment as if i disagree with you, and then by the end of replying I realize I agree with you and we were talking about two slightly different things, and will still just... say the original thing 🤦
