Zitat: Having a fast test suite can be just as important as having a fast application. As a developer, getting feedback quickly about the state of your code allows for a much quicker development turnaround. Here we are going to run through some tips you can implement today to make your tests run faster.

Zitat: Replicating a database can make our applications faster and increase our tolerance to failures, but there are a lot of different options available and each one comes with a price tag.

Zitat: A very common and oft-repeated programmer’s wisdom is “Don’t use floats for currency”. This always made a lot of sense to me. The idea is that floats are imprecise, due to the way they are stored.
