hey

so the talk tonight wasn’t exactly what I was expecting

hi

glad that there is a channel going now

I thought that he’d built a took like of like the w3c linkchecker

that would interact with your site, clicking links, filling out forms and submitting them

and that you’d write invariats for your site

like… “people shouldn’t be able to see each other’s private data” or “people shouldn’t be able to make themselves admins"

what was it actually about?

and the tool would be like “well if you change this hidden field called ‘role’ and put in ‘admin’ then that last one breaks"

a tool kind of like that, but you have to write a bunch of code that tells the test suite how to interact with your app

and write functions that build and modify a model of the state of your app

and then the real state of the app is compared to the expected state of the app

which is kind of a cool idea

i guess

i’ll see if I can find the link

https://github.com/atroche/dry-todo

interesting

are they doing clojure at Zendesk?

yeah. for some stuff it seems.

their core app sounds like it’s still rails.

https://github.com/atroche/dry-todo/blob/master/src/dry_todo/actions.cljs#L10 this defn shows the how you define an action

hrm .. I was going to interview with them for a Senior Data Scientist role or something

damn, I didnt know they were doing Clojure

I took another role
