I can't be the first one to notice that what @Jerod Santo calls the "(un)ordered list of links" is actually a set since he's never repeated a single item :wink:

You may be giving me too much credit by assuming I wouldn't be lured in by the same thing twice :wink:

(Somebody should vibe code up an "(un)ordered list of links" dupe checker)

Relatedly, I've noticed in my text communications that I use bullet points alot, but shuffling would confuse the point I'm trying to make
So, perhaps I do need to use numbered/ordered lists more often

Something about an ordered list feels so much more formal though :shrug:

@Ron Waldon-Howe there's a difference between ordered and numbered, so you're good :wink:

But it'd be so nice to remove a concept from my brain and just make them the same :P

Has anyone heard of guestpodcaststoday.com ?
I got an email from them asking if I'd like to be a guest on a podcast they work with, but it seemed a little… odd.

I mean I just went to the website and it redirects to something odd... and the template has way too much animation in it so I'm not sure if I trust it :joy:

Hello, everyone! :wave:.
I am going through campus placements. One of the requirements listed in the job description was TDD. May assigned us an assessment task based on it.
As a rookie, I don't have much expertise with TDD, preferring to create first and then test after :sweat_smile:.

I assumed I'd ask here because you folks seem to have more real-world experience: do you have any thoughts on TDD basics or ideas for good resources?
I'm not worried or anything; I just want to be prepared in case something comes up.
Thank you:folded_hands:.

case

Its older, but have you read the Kent Beck book on it? I'd check that out. From a high level in SDLC you take the user stories and build the unit tests around those then build the functionality to pass the tests.

TDD is one of those things I really ought to do but don't. The basic notion is simple. When you are writing some code how do you know when you are done? You write some code and you test it manually over and over again. Why not write the test first and code until it passes?

view this post on Zulip Ron Waldon-Howe (Jul 01 2025 at 22:38):

I'm not disciplined at all about this, but occasionally I'll even start with the documentation first, then write the test that supports what is documented, and then write the code

view this post on Zulip Matthew Sanabria (Jul 02 2025 at 02:35):

I'm not religious about TDD but I do like to use it to:

  1. Verify my understanding of the issue.
  2. Prove that the code change fixes the issue.

When I'm building out some new functionality I don't use TDD as much. Really when I'm patching things.

We had the publish date wrong when it went out. We also had the audio wrong when it went out. So I'd delete the June 27th one if I were you and go with the newer one :sunglasses:

Should we have a "vibe coding" or AI focused channel? I guess there is practical AI but that's for discussing the podcast episodes right?

share ideas and discuss on it.
I was also thinking about, that. We can share new Ai Tools and news too.

Did have a quick search but couldn’t find anything, has Bill Hall the creator of Odin been considered as a guest before? Switched to using Odin recently for writing a Risc-v toy OS and know he has some pretty interesting opinions on language design and software in general.
