Testing JavaScript Applications by Lucas da Costa (Coupon for 40% off: podjsjabber19)Lucas da Costa literally wrote the book on testing JavaScript. He's also maintainer on ChaiJS and Sinon. The podcast follows a three part structure for testing: Entrance tests, integration tests, and structural tests. These form a pyramid of testing that has the entrance tests at the base and the structural and system tests at the top. The episode also covers TDD and approaches to different kinds of JavaScript testing.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightSteve EdwardsGuestLucas da CostaSponsorsAudible.comRaygun | Click here to get started on your free 14-day trialLinksTesting JavaScript Applications bookLucas' WebsiteLucas' Terminal GuideWhy Flat Earthers are Bad at QAPicksLucas - HiDPI (Retina) on any displayLucas - RDM:Lucas - Quartz Debug (XCode Additional Tools)Aimee - Vanilla-todoAJ - iTerm2AJ - Fish ShellAJ - Cloud Encabulator linkSteve - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRupqYXNUVwLucas - The Sense of Style by Steven Pinker (Audiobook)Lucas - On Writing WellLucas - Actionable Agile Metrics For Predictability: An IntroductionLucas - https://github.com/neovim/neovimTesting JavaScript Applications by Lucas da Costa (Coupon for 40% off: podjsjabber19)Special Guest: Lucas F.

The panel continues its discussion of various JavaScript programming topics, and whether or not they are required knowledge for JavaScript programmers. This time the debate gets even more heated with topics such as promises and async / await, regular expressions (regex), the DOM and Service Workers. Ultimately we conclude that some you must indeed know to be successful at JavaScript development, but some you just need to know enough about to know to stay away from them.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightSteve EdwardsDan ShappirCharles Max WoodLinksJSJ 449: The Things Every JavaScript Developer Must Knowhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/151312PicksAimee - The MarkupAimee - Yasso Frozen YogurtDan - picks Steve Edwards (volunteer firefighter) for his service and saving livesAJ - XKCD DependencyAJ - YC’s How to Start a StartupAJ - https://webinstall.dev/arcAJ - https://webinstall.dev/un7z (still not working)AJ - HarakaAJ - EmkeiAJ - MxtoolboxAJ - Mail-tester.comAJ - https://blog.codinghorror.com/so-youd-like-to-send-some-email-through-code/Steve - https://blog.logrocket.com/new-features-in-vue-3-and-how-to-use-them/Charles - https://brendon.com/podcast/Charles - https://stimulusjs.org/Charles - https://github.com/alpinejs/alpineSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/javascript-jabber/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support.

Imagine a world in which your editor / IDE can actually write some of your code for you. Where you're able to produce software faster and more efficiently because your development environment "knows" what you want to do, based on code you've written before. Turns out you can start experiencing this in the present using the free TabNine editor extension by Codata. In this episode Kyle Simpson, Codata's Lead of Developer Empowerment, joins the panel to describe how they use Machine Learning to enhance and accelerate software development. Kyle explains what's already possible in the present, and what ML technology promises to enable in the future for developer experience.PicksAimeeTerraform cost estimation: https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-cost-estimationDanhttps://www.se.rit.edu/~tabeec/RIT_441/Resources_files/How To Write Unmaintainable Code.pdfKylehttps://medium.com/nmc-techblog/introducing-the-async-cookie-store-api-89cbecf401fAJ3-Wolf Moon: https://amzn.to/3dGkRE6Watchexec: https://webinstall.dev/watchexecDotenv: https://webinstall.dev/dotenvSpecial Guest: Kyle Simpson.
