Snippet Pixie: Next – Unit tests for settings, use Focus Search Box setting | Always Developing #206

In this session I add some unit tests for the new RemoveSetting function, as well as the dbus endpoints for GetSetting and SaveSetting.

I then use the Focus Search Box setting in the Search And Paste mode of the GUI app, which turned out to be way more involved than first expected.

Live coding an app with Go and SvelteJS.

Before starting every work day, I do half an hour or so of noodling on side projects, making sure to keep them moving forward, albeit slowly.

Working on these side projects is how I learn new programming languages, frameworks and technologies.

Chances are I’ll fail miserably each and every day, so at the very least you can take comfort in seeing a so-called senior developer fumbling through some development with little success.
