The Fakes vs Mocks debate is a classic, visited many times with very strong opinions as well as "it depends" discourse. Let's talk about why we write tests #AndroidDev 1328

Reposted by Aldo SocarrasRomain Guy @romainguy.dev · 27/11/2024I love Kotlin but please don't abuse its features. I regularly see code like in the first function when you can instead write a simple if statement: it's shorter, easier to read, and doesn't allocate an object! Thankfully both functions compile to the same assembly when R8 is turned on. 1114033

Aldo Socarras @driuft.com · 24/11/2024I actually loved Chucky as a kid 😭 When I was a kid, I remember my aunt got me a 1:1 Chucky doll for my birthday and trying to scare me with it by asking me to grab something from the trunk of their car. As soon as I opened the trunk I was like "OMG, Chucky!" and proceeded to hug it 100

Aldo Socarras @driuft.com · 18/11/2024💯 Accessibility becomes an afterthought because developers can't relate to the hardships others face due to lack of accessibility. That's why sharing real human experiences is so important - it bridges the gap between accessibility being a technical checkbox into something we actually understand. 030
