I am integrating with different third-party payment provider via their API. Just wondering what is the good approach of testing these third party service/API?

Consumer/Producer contract testing?
end-to-end test?

I got engaged this year. Can't wait to see what 2019 will bring me. Hope you guys had an awesome 2018 too!

Preparing HOTFIX on Christmas Eve! 💪

That feeling when you about to leave at work and ready for the long holiday, and suddenly there's a 🔥. You need to investigate and fix the issue. What a day!

My team decided to do a MOB programming in one of our tickets.

New joiner: Perfect we did a mob yesterday .

Me: Great, that's good. How did it go?

New joiner: Well, we work together in the gaming room next to each other and trying to solve the issue. I think it's very productive.

Me: Awesome! Let's do it again today... When we started the MOB, all of them are using their own laptop. And I was like.. so, this is how you did the MOB yesterday?

New guy: Yes.

Me: This is not a MOB programming... MOB programming uses only 1 screen, 1 driver and everyone work together, will tell the driver what to do, we need to exchange the driver every 10 to 15 minutes, everyone can be a driver. (devs, qa, ux, product) and do a retro after.

New guy: ah.. wow! Interesting.

The best invention of all time is copy and paste. Can you imagine without copy and paste in your machine/devices? I don't think so...
