Bringing back a classic post. Kent Beck's Decompose Run-On Tests. Updated for Swift Testing jaimzuber.com/testing/deco... Kent's original Facebook Note is the post I've shared the most when teaching devs to write maintainable test suites

Decompose Run-On Tests (In Swift Testing)
Years ago, while Kent Beck was at Facebook, he posted a short note called Decompose Run-On Tests. The original images are long gone and it no longer shows up in search results. But it changed how I wr...

It's easy to guess what people are talking about because we largely talk about the same things But then there was the one time I got an ad for Vietnamese Coffee directly after drinking one at Pho Tau Bay

Agreed. Actors provide a step forward in a number of cases. But they are bulky solutions to a lot of common problems. If you need full control you're probably dropping down to a different tool

Avoid Massive Actors with Empty Global Actors
The most common way to think about actors is similar to structs and classes. They are a type with properties or methods defined.

“GCD is still here and you should not be afraid to use it” I’ve been a (cautious) proponent of using stateless actors for file system access It works reasonably well. But could lull devs into a false sense of security i.e. adding an async call could inadvertently break the intended isolation

Agree with this. I don't think SwiftUI will ever be at the point it can do everything UIKit can. It doesn't need to.

Yeah, Anthropic is in a rare position. They can keep doing this longer than most apps. It's all new functionality, and users already expect to have to review the output

Jaim Zuber @jaimzuber.com · 02/04/2026
To your point, focusing on code quality when you're trying to find product market fit is a fool's errand If you're successful, the problem becomes adding new functionality while also keeping every existing thing working. This is when you dig into quality

If you think the code is bad now, wait 3-4 years until Anthropic has to continue supporting some critical workflow that was strung together last week that requires a bug not being fixed to produce the right results

They were clearly trying to impersonate police officers. "We're on a ride along". After 3-4 attempts I was able to merge back into the road. They then turned to go E on Ford Parkway.

I did not engage and started to pull ahead to leave, they pulled the pickup along side me. Multiple times. And repeated their harassment. There was a parked car ahead which would have prevented me from accelerating quickly to leave.

I pull over to let them pass. Instead them pulled along side me I rolled my window down to see what they wanted. The driver started yelling at me "You swerved when making U Turn" (I was driving straight from the ice rink on Snelling) "You're drunk"

Two young men (teens or early 20's) pulled me over and tried to convince me they were police officers I was driving West on Ford Parkway when an Orange Pickup aggressively tailgated me and blinked their lights. They appeared to be simulating a police interaction.
