What are your testing practices? Do you do unit tests, system tests, manual tests? Do you simply never make errors?

I write unit tests for all my systems, which are usually quite small.

Now I started doing some larger scale tests. In those I mock nothing, just feed user inputs to start abilities etc. I hope this will help me detect regression errors from big changes earlier. I want to check is the functionality is still intact. I expect the unit tests to fail anyway.

One of the best posts I've seen on here was: "Mastodon is for what you love, not what you hate." I for one am devoted to keeping it that way.

People who don't believe in evolution are primate change deniers.

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally AGAINST downtown bike-lanes, later became one of their most vigourous supporters, because of EVIDENCE that bike-lanes are better for downtown business than any street parking they replace.

Does anyone know what kind of hummingbird this is?

Hi @scott -

I've used Craiglist and others in the fam have used https://www.freecycle.org/town/PortlandOR . This time of year, for Craigslist I've listed what's available and left it in an accessible spot, and removed the listing when the stuff disappeared. A little harder in the rainy season....
