Unit Testing Clarified, Part 2: FAQ
Continue from Part 1. Q & A 1. Why do the tech leads/managers/programmers use the ‘Unit Test’ term wrongly? Managers are excusable, but not for ‘tech leads’ and programmers. The short answer is that these tech leads have never written nor executed real unit tests. This is very concerning. We know that “Good programmers write unit tests”, and the T in TDD (Test-Driven-Development) is Unit Testing. If we have these fake/incompetent engineers as the tech leads, the project will be doomed.

Breaking Down My WWE Cosplays
As a cosplayer, I'm always looking for new cosplays to do if they catch my attention. Almost a decade ago, I was preparing to attend my first convention as a cosplayer. That's when an idea popped inside my head: What if I went as a WWE superstar? I did exactly that and in this story, I'll be going over the three WWE cosplays I've done in about the last 10 years. I've been a huge fan of old school wrestling since the late 90s, even though my now estranged parents and aunts, who are African, hated it when me, my youngest brother, and cousins watched it. However, we didn't care and loved every minute of it. I grew up watching The Rock, Kane, D-Generation X, and many others. Bet you didn't know that hidden gem about me, now did you? Anyway, without further ado, let's get ready to rumble!
