When building a server-side rendered web application, it's valuable to test the HTML that's generated through templates. While these can be tested through end-to-end tests running in the browser, such tests are slow and more work to maintain than unit tests. My colleague Matteo Vaccari has written an article on how to use TDD to test drive these templates using xunit-style tools which can be run easily from the command line or as part of build scripts.

Feeling a sense of urgency to migrate to the cloud and digitally transform, SAP customers find themselves nearing a point of inflection, with skills shortages and data reservations poised to impact their outcomes. Two of the biggest sources of pressure are the looming 2027 end of SAP’s mainstream maintenance for SAP Business Suite 7 — giving members a two-year window to adopt its successor, SAP S/4HANA — and the desire to embrace emerging technologies like AI.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has garnered immense publicity over the past few months. Some believe it’s a passing fad or a threat to human creativity. For young professionals, it’s the source of a unique dilemma: Do you “buy into the hype” of AI and use it as a guidepost for your professional development and ambitions? Or do you stick to the beaten path, focusing on building more traditional skills and pursuing more conventional trajectories?

In a fast-changing world, it requires both a strategy and disciplined execution to stand out and remain relevant. And since your own career interests, goals, and objectives are likely changing more rapidly than ever, don’t assume that your internal state of mind is reflected in your public brand. Indeed, there’s often a lag between our self-perception and how others view us, and we have to consciously focus on closing that gap to achieve the brand or reputation we seek.

Maybe it’s dividing two numbers without testing to see if the denominator is zero. Programmers have a weird relationship with rules. On one hand, code is just a huge pile of rules—rules that are endlessly applied by dutiful silicon gates without fear or favor, almost always without alpha particle-induced error.
