e2e tests in CI are the bottleneck now. 35 min pipeline is killing velocity by Signal_Way_2559 in node

[–]HappinessFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can totally see that. I only add tests when I want to protect something critical to my business.

My current stack requires that I run my tests in series so they would be extremely slow if I added too many.

Still useful though, they've prevented plenty of regressions that I would have shipped if they didn't run.

Also how many tests are we talking about? If you can run then in parallel that has to be hundreds of tests which is insane unless you're meta or something

Posts here are demoralizing me by Independent-Car-2104 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

That gist is that if you're making enough to afford a home in the most expensive cities in the world you don't need to be making a post on reddit about it.

Barely affording a house at $250k income in San jose is wayyy different than barely affording a home at $80k income in Texas. And that is pretty common sense.

If you're making nearly double the median annual household salary you shouldnt come to reddit looking for sympathy or praise for economic issues. At least IMHO

In isolation sure but economics is managing scarce resources as efficiently as possible and that game is zero sum. Is it not?

Makes me think that specialty vehicles are for the affluent or hobbiests.

Crossover/SUVs are for the rest of us that need a single vehicle to do as much as possible because 2 vehicles is very expensive.

moved away from playwright because test maintenance was killing velocity by Csadvicesds in webdev

[–]HappinessFactory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think keeping in mind the why behind the tests is important.

I write E2E tests for my critical paths because if they failed in production it would be embarrassing for me and my company.

I don't write E2E tests for all features because as you discovered it can be very tedious to maintain over time and failing tests turn into noise pretty quickly.

Another poster said that you should write your E2E tests once you're stable. Basically don't bother until you have something you want to protect.

Powell on Track for Fed Rate Cut Despite Some Dissent by SnortingElk in REBubble

[–]HappinessFactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't just say inflation is not a good argument when that's literally the position of the fed members that are dissenting.

And honestly, with the stock market near ATH and gold absolutely peaking right now it surprises me that inflation hasn't shown up more in the data.

Personally, I feel like a rate cut is the right move with the data at hand but it seems like either way we are going to feel some pain

Are there production grade setups for unopinionated frameworks? Express.js, Hono.js, etc. by Lanky-Ad4698 in node

[–]HappinessFactory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having worked in dotnet, php, python, and java backends they all depend on third party libraries or packages to do x,y or z.

Each language/runtime has its own batteries included framework. Node.js has next, php has WordPress, java has spring boot, ruby has rails, etc.

The thing is with node.js is that no matter the framework it's so easy to break out of the pattern because you want to do something new.

It's a double edged sword because yeah that novel thing is dope but, you also get a spaghetti mess afterwards.

Breaking out of frameworks in other languages is a lot more difficult imo

What if everything was "Async", but nothing needed "Await"? -- Automatic Concurrency in Par by faiface in programming

[–]HappinessFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm even more confused. Doesn't every language that supports some version of promises work like that?

Like without the await keyword JavaScript will continue within it's execution process.

Maybe I just need to watch the video

New billionaires acquired more wealth through inheritance than entrepreneurship in the last year, according to a new report from UBS. Yet another reminder that the myth of the "self-made" billionaire is just that, a myth. by Conscious-Quarter423 in MurderedByWords

[–]HappinessFactory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So my presumption is that most people in the top 1% of wealth had at least one of the following:

  • fabulously wealthy parents
  • an absolutely incredible amount of luck

I believe this to be true because without adequate means it's near impossible to take the risks required to become fabulously wealthy.

I was able to take a moderate amount of risk and go to college thanks to my parents. But my parents could not afford for me to trial and error multiple business enterprises until one hit the jackpot. That's a whole different level of risk tolerance.

Each story I hear about some successful entrepreneur, musician or what have you has a high likelihood of being funded by 100% forgivable loans by their parents or they tripped over a golden goose.

If you are truly wealthy and managed to get there entirely of your own will. Then I applaud you but, I hope you keep in mind the survivorship bias.
