Testing React loader with React Testing Library

I have came across this situation so many times where I need to write a unit test for a component pattern I have developed so many times that I can write the code with my eyes closed. BUT what about unit testing! That's something my mind thought is the best candidate to get rid of in order to store more cat memes. Even when these patterns are used almost everywhere and we write the tests for each one of them (I hope you do) but still we (it can't be just me) tend to forget them and get even more confused with those pesky `act` warnings. So I decided to curate a recipe book for some common unit tests which I come across and might be useful for future me. Happy to share the github repo and also would love to see if anyone has more such common unit testing patterns which they can add or suggest. https://github.com/Charchit26/react-testing-library-recipes Now, let's talk about the one I have coded a dozen times and still take half an hour to struggle with its unit tests - Load

Send Anonymous Mails!

Ever thought of a mischievous act like sending a mail with a fake identity or using someone else's identity?? Sure, if you have that naughty prankster hidden in you! So there are ACTUALLY two common sites which may help you in such pranks.. They are... 1: http://www.sendanonymousemail.net/ Its got a pretty easy and user-friendly interface which makes it so special.. 2: https://emkei.cz/ It can be considered as the advanced version for sending fake mails.. Its got a good variety of options for "geeks" as well as an html editor for cutomizing the mails! But Do Remember that these tools would let you send anonymous emails free of cost and let you be hidden at the same time, but they Do store your IP addresses, just in case your anonymous email indulges in illegal activities! So, Do NOT even try to send scary threats or spam like messages because you may get caught very easily and can be charged with fraudulent charges and can be pu

Recipe for chaos in an XP team

Our team failed! We failed in delivering value to the client, value to our users as well as we failed in showing the benefits of XP - eXtreme Programming to not only other teams but our managers as well. So here I am listing some of the factors which I think lead to the fall of the project, the practices and eventually the team itself. We were quite fine an year ago. We used to pair, practice TDD, interview users frequently and release awesome features to production almost weekly. I would not go to the extent of saying we were living in perfect times, since we faced some very common problems - Some people felt that TDD made them slow. Management kept questioning whether pair programming is really "fast enough" and not slowing us down. This gave birth to some "Duct Tape Programmers" in the team. (That's a real term! Google it.) "The Duct Tape Programmer is someone who is able to cobble together software that solves the immediate problem, but witho
