Like a mystic reading coffee cups, your tests reveal hidden truths about your code. What do they say about your design choices—and where does AI stumble? All about it in this new article: yonatankra.com/meaningful-t... #Flutter #Testing #SoftwareArchitecture #AI

Are you writing with AI? I'm getting low scores on my text detector (meaning it's probably human-written!). Will we need a "No-AI" badge for human-made art? As an author, I enjoy to create. As a reader, the test is if I enjoyed the story or book. #wattpad #indieauthor #fantasy #authorlife #AIArt

OMG! I can't be a prouder LLM trainer. #softwaredevelopment #javascript #typescript #tdd #mcp

1/ Just read The State of CD 2025 by @davefarley77.bsky.social Insightful and encouraging as it gives a clear path for improvement. The study looked at nearly 100 organizations and how well they apply 14 key Continuous Delivery practices. Most are doing well culturally. Technically? Not so much.

I'm moving to #flutter. That's it. No punch.

I'm not only back here, but also on stage! Happy to announce I'll be live coding a neural network on stage on July 30th. With Vanilla JavaScript. Who wants in? www.meetup.com/nwd-il/event... #javascript #neuralnetworks #AI

Hi @bsky.app ! I'm back after a long time off the web. How are things? Here's something to open your day with

Did you know you can close issues with commit messages? Short Version: Use `closes #13` to close issue #13 (replace 13 with your issue number) in your GitHub repository. Just commit this as the commit message and watch the magic happen. #github #ci #cd #opensource #softwaredevelopment

Hey, Blueskiers! I know I haven't been around for some time. Sometimes, real life gets in the way of the virtual ones ;) But hey, I got to create this beauty: codepen.io/yonatankra/p... #webcomponents #browser #testing #jasminejs

Don't fall like I did! Vitest checks for substrings in rejection tests. If the error message is "found error," this passes: `await expect(() => get(a1)).rejects.toThrow("found");` However, this fails: `await expect(() => get(a1)).rejects.toThrow("found error 2");` 🤘 #vite #test #javascript

Getting better at this.

Hey Web Component ppl who meddle with design systems. I checked 3 design systems that came up first in Google search, and validation was nonexistent. When you build a form control, do you form-associate it? How do you handle validation? #webcomponents #designsystem #html #javascript

Many React developers claim it has a massive fanbase, extensive ecosystem, and universal usability. This sounds like Trump's campaign: the third point is misleading, the ecosystem is mostly unnecessary, and a large fanbase... well... Trump won the elections, right? #JavaScript #ReactJS #TechTruths

Validation tip of the day: When using the native Radio validation, remember to add a `name` attribute; otherwise, it won't work. Check it out here: codepen.io/yonatankra/p... #javascript #html #webdevelopment

It's Almost ready!!! Progress report on my small side project: Finished the basic UI. It looks like... well... I designed it. Design makeover tomorrow and then I'll be able to share it with y'all. I believe it's going to benefit the whole @bsky.app network :) Do you enjoy the tests stats like I do?

#a11y tip: Avoid using the title attribute. The HTML spec advises against it since titles are inaccessible to mobile, tablet, keyboard, and assistive tech users. This article explores when you can and (mostly) when you shouldn't use the title. https://buff.ly/41iF4uj

Are you a fan of #AI in gaming? One of the earliest games featuring enjoyable AI for me was Majesty 2. It remains captivating with its humor, challenges, and superb soundtrack (https://buff.ly/41smrnI). Have you played it? What's your opinion? Which game AI do you prefer? #GamingCommunity

Private members in JavaScript classes use a # prefix, allowing for minimal interface exposure in web components and aligning with the YAGNI principle. I'm using them a lot in my Design System Web Components. Are you using # members? WDYT?

#Testing Tip: Vitest Fake Timers If you have a timer in your app, you'd should use runAllTimers or advanceTimersByTime to skip that time. If you have an async timer: await new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, 1000)); don't forget to use runAllTimersAsync or advanceTimersByTimeAsync #javascript #vitest

1/ 🧵 What is the Coupling Pitfall? It's when your tests are tightly linked to implementation details, making your codebase fragile. Changes to the code often break tests unnecessarily, leading to frustration. Let's explore this and how to avoid it! 👇 #javascript #testing #cleancode

Talisman cards with shuffle, spread, and fan functionality. Done inside a #nuxt app, with a tweaked version of buff.ly/41hEfBV as a web component. It was created for my son's Bar Mitzvah. User data was stored in the SVG itself so that users could edit the card later. #UI #JavaScript #webcomponents

Kent Beck explains the main reason for the cost of software. Small changes don't cost much. Big changes cost a lot. Big changes are a result of coupling. Hence, the main reason for software costs is coupling. Do you agree? What do you think? https://buff.ly/4igflZI #softwaredevelopment #javascript
