Re:Write tests. Not too many. Mostly integration (2017)

Yeah this is article comes out and says that it's based on gut, not science. So speaking for anecdotal evidence, unit tests that don't break and frequent deploys are way better than finessing one more Gherkin test.

Re:Death by Database

I worked on a codebase with a similar address problem. Oh, and there were no primary keys. Instead, each row referred back to a separate table with four keyed initials.
Good database design upfront, and vigilant upkeep will keep the application layer tidier.

Re:Engineering whiteboard interviews: yay or nay?

It seems like there are two things at play - whiteboarding interviews vs. using whiteboards in your day-to-day job.
If the test is to see how well a person works in a whiteboarding interview to solve a problem, then it should be a simulation of collaboration, while trying to avoid the Clever Hans effect.
Otherwise your DP whiteboarding problems are worthless.

I don't even try blocking the Outline's ads. They blend so easily into their actual content, and they're unobtrusive.
