> Unsurprisingly, my relationship with TikTok’s press office was tense. Though I was unaware of it, at the same time TikTok was pushing back on reports of a toxic workplace, several employees had decided to surveil my phone, tracking my location in hopes of finding my sources.
And as you can imagine, the follow up questions by the author about the incident were not answered.
This is not the same as Google or Facebook, or any other giants spying on people.
If it was really merely some TikTok's employees' own decision, then just like it's working atmosphere, it's culture is toxic.
Actually this piece code is to achieve 80% test coverage or even lower. (It's the target of another remote team.)
From the observation, "Everyone knows when you are forced to write tests you code differently" doesn't hold. If you try to make your code testable, TDD is a better approach. (which means you have to write test first.)
But to people who doesn't know how to make code testable, or even worse, take test coverage goal as a burden. They code before they integrate, they integrate before they test. Such stories happen a lot.
Only if people believe in test first and help them know how to write good/maintainable tests first, can test coverage goal make sense.
Looking to work with interesting problems/people. Prefer Agile/TDD.
Organize coding dojos, favourites are Lisp & C++. Open to learn new things. Take game dev/UI framework as side projects.
Hi, I'm a QA in a industry company and I'm doing these daily manual testing just because I was a previous field engineer and knows much more about the domain than my fellow colleges. I'm so tired of such kind of job since everyday just get exhausted doing these test.
I'm in a great puzzle about what to do next, and I'm also wondering what can I do if I change my job.
Can anyone give some suggestion? Thank you!
