React testing library query cheatsheet: testing-library.com/docs/react-tes… Fixed a test where queryBy was returning null, which the waitFor interprets as a final result. getBy throws instead, which waitFor correctly interprets as a loading state before the final content is ready 🤯 #react

Did you know… 🤔 Hedgehog has secured investment opportunities in more than $1.5bn of US-based real assets to be tokenized on the platform. These assets vary from commercial real estate to renewable energy and eligible individuals can invest alongside the existing owners.

Went back and read YAGNI by @martinfowler today: martinfowler.com/bliki/Yagni.ht… - great articulation of why not to build for presumptive features, and an important reminder to keep code as malleable as possible #SoftwareEngineering #yagni

Found out about expect.assertions from @fbjest - means you can test a function which throws an error, catch the error, and avoid the test silently passing when it should have failed if the error wasn't thrown... #TypeScript #testing #SoftwareEngineering
