I wrote tests today and found an error in my code. What is that? Development driven test driven development?

I’d be OK with the option to switch easily. Or maybe dual boot.

I migrated an Ant project to Gradle last week, and oh boy, was that painful. I used AI to do a lot of the boilerplate, but then I had to polish out all the errors it made. And it made a lot. But still, writing all those build files would have been horrible without AI.

I used to utilize Arduinos, but since I tried an ESP32 I never looked back. Those fit my needs much better and come with all the connections I want. Especially in combination with home assistant.

I’m relatively new in my company and I’ve been hired to structurize and modernize the development. Project #1 I’m on, I’ve introduced bleeding edge things like pipelines with building, testing, etc., I’ve introduced renovate bot to keep us up to date, and I’ll introduce linting next.

They will probably kill me, but no way I’ll let them have > 2000 lines of code in one file.

I’m not Chris, but this is how I backend.
