How To Test — Alex Kladov
tl;dr: “This post describes my current approach to testing. When I started programming professionally, I knew how to write good code, but good tests remained a mystery for a long time. This is not due to the lack of advice — on the contrary, there’s abundance of information & terminology about testing.”

Status Games — Phil Booth
tl;dr: “Here are some ways that I've seen engineers pathologically try to elevate their own status: (1) Build a new thing that doesn't need to exist. (2) Build a thing using different technology that the rest of the team are unfamiliar with. (3) Rewrite from scratch something that was already working fine. (4) Work on easy changes that touch many lines of code but don't impact the business. (5) Claim to be working on big and/or complicated changes, which nobody else has visibility of.” Phil discusses how to defuse these games early before they escalate.
