I have literally given up friendships from people that wouldn’t stop sending me voice messages.

I accept it from family, kids, the elderly and such. I just can’t believe people want me to turn off my music and slowly listen to your shitty voice when I can easily multitask.

I agree. I think a price increase can totally make sense. Shit’s expensive nowadays, we get it.

They seem to want to create a new revenue stream from games published on Unity retroactively.

Yeah I don’t understand how that works. Will that even stand up to a lawsuit? Wouldn’t they have to give up stuff in discovery if a game company sues to find how they were billed?

I like TDD in theory and I spent so many years trying to get it perfect. I remember going to a conference where someone was teaching TDD while writing tic tac toe. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t finish in time.

The thing that I hate is people conflating TDD with testing or unit testing. They’re vastly different things. Also, I hate mocks. I spent so long learning all the test doubles to pass interviews: what’s the difference between a spy, fake, stub, mock, etc. Also doing it with dependency injection and all that. I much prefer having an in-memory database than mock what a database does. Last company I worked at, I saw people write tests for what would happen if the API returned a 404 and they wrote code that would handle it and all that. In practice, our HTTP library would throw an exception not return with a statusCode of 404. Kinda funny.

You obviously can’t always get replacements for things and you’ll need to mock and I get that. I just prefer to not use them if I can.

Also, TDD advocates love saying, you’re just not doing it well or you just don’t know enough.

I get it, you love TDD and it works for you and more power to you.

I definitely believe in testing and having resilient tests that will minimize changes upon refactoring, but TDD doesn’t work for me for most of the work I do. It works for some and I love it when it does, but yeah … sorry random long ramble.

I mean old school Visual Studio made it restrictive in the past.

I figured with VS Code, .NET core, NuGet and stuff made it better.

I won’t fight back on MS hatred.

What distro you using?
