Why I migrated my #clojure next.jdbc project to lazytest https://corfield.org/blog/2025/03/12/lazytest/
Migrating to LazyTest

I've been using the Expectations testing library since early 2019 -- over six years. I love the expressiveness of it, compared to clojure.test, and it exists because "Classic Expectations" was not compatible with clojure.test tooling. At work, our tests use a mixture of clojure.test and Expectations, but in my open source projects, I've mostly stuck with clojure.test for familiarity's sake for contributors.Being compatible with clojure.test comes at a price, though. Expectations uses macros to produce clojure.test-compatible code under the hood, so it is limited by the same reporting as clojure.test and the same potential problems with tooling that tries to override parts of clojure.test's behavior -- namely that multiple tools do not play well together, so I've had to avoid "improving" the expressiveness or reporting in ways that would break compatibility with that tooling.

Hey guys, it's our very first #FollowFriday here, and we're kicking things off by recommending 9 European e-mail providers that are here on Mastodon!

Even if you've already got your favourite provider, it's always interesting to follow competitors to see their promotions, new features and creativity, and their blog posts explaining technical or legal aspects of technology.

And if one day things change, you'll already have some alternatives in your mind!

Reminder:

There's a thing you can sign!

It's for an EU-wide ban on so-called "conversion therapy" of queer people.

Please sign it! Lots of member states haven't met the minimum threshold yet!

The thing needs seven member states to meet the minimum threshold AND at least a million signatures before 17.5.2025

I'm looking for work!

 I'm a software engineer with 4 years' professional experience. Special interests include railway open data, networking (I run AS213185 for fun!), and embedded programming, but I can do most things!

✨ I care about delivering software that makes a difference, and solving interesting problems to do it. You might know me from tracking trains around the London Underground (as seen at EMF 2022!), reverse-engineering UK railway tickets, or building hardware to make LED panels work (as seen at EMF 2024!).

πŸ“ I'm looking for fully remote and hybrid positions. I'm based in Cardiff, UK, but am happy to work US Eastern or European hours if necessary!

βœ‰οΈ Please get in touch if you have any job leads, want to hire me, or want my CV β€” just reply below, or email [email protected].

Boosts much appreciated!  #getfedihired
