@MaddieM4@raphus.social That's part of it though; that counts 😀 👍 I should make some contributions to some open source projects. I really love coding in Go.

Hi everyone. This is a quick #introduction to skyhaven.social - this is my custom built next gen version of Mastadon. The UI has been rewritten inside and out to be very next gen, state of the art. Everything works just as it should and looks super intuitive. If you're thinking about a move and looking for a place to base yourself, either permanently or until you find something better, consider skyhaven.social #welcome #server #join #mastodon

@MaddieM4@raphus.social You're going to contribute something to Mastodon? High five 😀

@MaddieM4@raphus.social Yes I think testing is so crucial for any Go codebase. I use really nice Ginkgo / gomega tests which describe what is happening ie: When("the user enters some stuff and", func() { When("the users input is invalid and", func() { When("the validator spots the issue", func() { It("should output an error", func() { I find this a lot more intuitive than the bare tests which come with the core libraries. Go is very opinionated and idiomatic so it kind of keeps codebases looking similar but when tests are easy to follow it can really help readability.
