If you’re tired of reviewing PR’s, you have other options. I’ll list some of the tradeoffs, but they’re worth a try if you’re losing patience and feel PR’s are taking too much time and break focus.

Some context on my 1st week of the new job, dealing GraphQL null-able types, describing some of the challenges of being a front-end dev when you are not full stack, and the harder than immediately apparent choice of choosing an Elm GraphQL library.

A lot of discussions this week on X and on LinkedIn about mocks, e2e, Go vs C#, and good vs badly written code. Watched the threads from afar, and if you squint, most in the thread have different definitions for those words.

I find it difficult to participate because 2 people talking about 2 completely different things, and debating some point of view doesn’t make any sense when the point of view isn’t viewed correctly or the same by people in the thread.

I can help with the Mock and Stub. I can help a little with the e2e. I can’t help much with “good code”. I can’t help you at all comparing language ecosystems. So I’ll just cover the first 3.

Ruminations on the 2 extreme positions of “You build the UI” vs’ “You build the UI and the API back-end for front-end”.
