  • Yes, I actually do. It’s a behavioral driven testing framework. I love the idea of it but hate working with it because everyone uses it improperly.

    What the steps in a scenario should look like:

    Given a user has a bank accout
    And the account has a balance of $10
    When the user attempts to withdraw $20
    Then the transaction should fail
    

    How everyone I’ve worked with uses it:

    Given the system is setup
    Given the user TESTUSER1
    Given load TESTDATA1
    When the user sends a request
        ACTION | AMOUNT
        WITHDRAW | 20.0
    The the response should be 400
        STATUS | MESSAGE
        Failure | Not enough funds
    




  • This is the closest one I could find because it has kids and mentions a black box. There were a ton though. https://youtu.be/dO7cvpVPv2A

    The one that stuck out was a career day thing and one kid was bragging about his dad’s “black box” that gets free cable! Wow! And the one of the other parents was a police officer! Oh no! 😱

    If you just look up “cable theft commercial” in YouTube you’ll find a lot. Some are more humorous. For example, this one encourages reporting people who steal cable. https://youtu.be/y3DmyJ9dYrk Specifically that, minor spoiler, are jerks!








  • I haven’t actually directly consumed any of his content but from what I’ve gathered over the years it sort of feels like advice targeting people addicts. The same way it may sound strange to tell someone to never ever ever drink a single drop of alcohol ever but it makes sense if you know they’re a recovering addict.

    But at the same time, there’s just some pretty bad advice too. Along with some common sense good advice.
