I love gevent, but i never was 100% sure that nothing is secretly breaking or some weird thread safety issue. In a large SaaS app all sorts of 3rd party libs do weird background threading stuff or someone randomly starts doing threading.Loc

I've had success with strategies at introducing some abstractions/patterns at my current place(doing this alone for a enterprise SaaS company with 200-ish devs). It's weird that we don't teach these or talk about them in

I second this, although i use `elpaca with use-package` instead: https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca It helps me keep the config consistent regardless of if something comes from MELPA, or bitbucket/github/git

My building charges USD 40+ to replace the white rfid cards if you lose it and something similar for the remote control for the parking gate. So i just cloned all my cards and remotes and keep them as backup, just in case.

I must confess, i never read the original book/paper, just about it from various sources. I was under the impression that in "proper" TDD you always try and write the test first; so as not to taint your tests with un-necessar
