Welcome back to another episode of The Rabbit Hole, everybody! Today on the show we are talking about one of our favorite recent subjects, GraphQL.

On today’s episode of the The Rabbit Hole we are talking GraphQL and getting some hot takes from our guest Stephen Meriwether! Although GraphQL definitely has its proponents, it certainly has its critics and there are a number of reasons for this.

In today's episode, we delve into the testing tango and the art of Arrange, Act, and Assert (AAA), a practice that is essential when writing tests in order to structure them in a way that is coherent to other developers who may come across them. We discuss how to go about Arranging variables, how to use those variables (or Act), and then Asserting those specific behaviors. You’ll learn about the importance of having only one assertion per test and the benefits of leaving blank spaces or new lines for future reference.

The transition to remote work in early 2020 was abrupt for everyone, but some found themselves thriving more than others, in many cases, thanks to their personality type. With work-from-home setups becoming the new norm in the age of COVID, many might assume that remote working environments are ideal for introverts, while extroverts are rearing to return to the office but, as you’ll learn from this episode, this isn’t necessarily the case! Today, Michael Nunez, Dave Anderson, and William Jeffries speak about introversion and remote work, sharing their personal experiences and elaborating on how they believe it relates to their individual personality types. We also touch on introversion versus social anxiety, the value of flexibility and creative thinking, and what Michael has in common with Spiderman, so make sure to tune in today to learn more!
