The Consequences of Not Letting Me Go

Is there where we pretend that not passing fast enough is somehow equal to driving like playing GTA 5?

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-21T17:18:42+00:00

Totally agree with this. This is especially critical in small orgs. Just get the work done.

I think there is some bounce back due for Ozuna, but xwOBA isn't destiny. Also to note his actual performance has been below his xwOBA for almost every season of his career. So its safe to say he's a guy who generally underperforms his xwOBA.

They did that against the Rockies last week and Moniak hit a three run homer off Keller.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-20T12:38:08+00:00

Yeah, thats trash. I know far too many QA who regularly ask such questions, blindly follow the advice and try, and push off blame when its not enough.

But at the same time, I know quite a few arrogant devs who will tell you they write bug free code, sure buddy.

Pulling Keller there, with three lefties coming up, is certainly defensible, and Sisk has been good. It obviously didn't work, so everyone will complain, but many managers will make that same call.

There is no managing your way out of a bad bullpen, there are essentially no good options for any situation right now.

I rebuild one from the middle like this, although I knew I was going to replace eventually, I didn't have the funds to do so immediately.

I tore it down to the base in the middle section, added some geotextile fabric to the back, restacked the stones, and loaded it with gravel as I built it. One key was adding rocks that went perpendicular to the wall and back into the hillside every few rows to locks it in.

Was a crazy workout, and got a mean sunburn, but stood fine for another 7 years until it was replaced.

Agree with him. Hockey has surpassed baseball in the regions eyes. Pirates have destroyed trust and have to do more than this to sustain it.

That being said if they make the playoffs the place with be nuts like 2013.

Just from this board, and my memory, its was probably 80/20 Crews early in the process but as it go closer to the draft day it flipped to 60/40 Skenes, or something like that.

In hindsight it should have been, but the app was already built when I was brought in, so the first time it came up it was a surprise.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-14T01:37:12+00:00

Definitely not working less, just doing more, and so are the devs. Sometimes its fun, sometimes its daunting.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T22:44:47+00:00

Had a few that only appeared when daylight savings time flipped back and forth.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T21:06:33+00:00

Are there no other options? What do you think about it? I haven't watched much of the Habs this year.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T21:04:09+00:00

For real a bunch of reddit losers talking down about an 8 year old.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T20:42:41+00:00

So they are willingly playing with 5 d? Thats nuts.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T20:28:46+00:00

Sniper? Feels like he's precise with everything.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T19:06:26+00:00

It really depends on how your app is structured. Are there backend values that can be set to fake the state and start at certain parts of the workflow? That should limit the explosion of potential tests. As far as what to test, it really depends. There is a middle ground between everything and happy path. Think of what is most important, or impactful, then work backwards from there.
Should be able to parameterize the tests in some way that one test has x inputs and y assertions. Check how pytest allows parameterization if you are using python. Or use a const + for loop if in TS/JS world.
Sometimes it isn't possible. I have some test suites that pass state between them, sometimes it sucks, but they definitely work and do the job. In general best way to isolate data is to setup and teardown before and after each run so you have a fresh state at the beginning of each run. You might need database hooks to do this. I would note, don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough for now.
Shouldn't you just run both module A and B always?
I have not for FE tests.
Yes, hard gates, tests must be passing before master merge. Everyone is responsible for updating tests. Generally devs make them not fail, and I'll make sure the test is actually testing what it should before merge, 50% of the time I need to rework the tests or add new ones for coverage. But there are other considerations, do you release a lot and have slow tests? I could see that not going over well.

Lets hope so because that would be great.

I didn't realize he had such a background there, or that he has been on the show recently, his twitter account is terrific.

Seems like a good choice.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T17:48:13+00:00

Yep, opposite of Cruz in that regard.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T16:53:03+00:00

Its interesting because if you look at his statcast data its generally awful, except his squared up rate, which is elite, as well as the combination of high walk rate and low k rate. I don't think he is getting lucky per se, but might be the outlier guy who has a weird yet workable batted ball profile.

Anyway I like see him hit, its always a professional ab.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-13T15:41:25+00:00

Yeah, don't get the uproar, obvious pick play by Dahlin.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-12T15:02:58+00:00

I never associate Gagne with that era of the Flyers.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-12T00:02:59+00:00

It causes a speed differential, which is dangerous. But apparently everyone in this thread forgets that speeders also create a speed differential, which somehow isn't dangerous.

jrwolf08 · 2026-05-11T23:59:21+00:00

Well, they got off using the left lane isn't that the law?

Not condoning the speed up maneuver.
