  • It probably really depends on the project, though I’d probably try and start with the tests that are easiest/nicest to write and those which will be most useful. Look for complex logic that is also quite self-contained.

    That will probably help to convince others of the value of tests if they aren’t onboard already.



  • The things I’m doing are mainly just as a hobby at the moment, so the advice of others may be more relevant to you, but I’ve learned a lot from and really enjoyed just creating a really overkill stack for a simple web app I made.

    I’m talking setting up grafana for monitoring, using ansible/terraform, setting up backups, etc etc. Lots of just picking cool software I’ve heard about and trying to stuff it into my use case.

    I find it funny how the updates slowly seem to realise that people can’t access the GitLab issue because it’s down.

    Starts with “details in”, then “details will be posted”, then “will be posted once available” then “once availability has been restored”













  • When it happens docker+wsl become completely unresponsive anyway though. Stopping containers fails, after closing docker desktop wsl.exe --shutdown still doesn’t work, only thing I’ve managed to stop the CPU usage is killing a bunch of things through task manager. (IIRC I tried setting a cap while trying the hyper-v backend to see if it was a wsl specific problem, but it didn’t help, can’t fully remember though).

    This is the issue that I think was closest to what I was seeing https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/12968

    My workaround has been to start using GitHub codespaces for most dev stuff, it’s worked quite nicely for the things I’m working on at the moment.

    My experience using docker on windows has been pretty awful, it would randomly become completely unresponsive, sometimes taking 100% CPU in the process. Couldn’t stop it without restarting my computer. Tried reinstalling and various things, still no help. Only found a GitHub issue with hundreds of comments but no working workarounds/solutions.

    When it does work it still manages to feel… fragile, although maybe that’s just because of my experience with it breaking.
