Simple Models, Scaffolding, Enabling Constraints
Link – – verraes.net
All models are wrong but simple models are more wrong than complex ones. Simple models are more appealing, easier to teach and spread and apply. Because of that, they can bring value faster, and they can cause harm faster.

How Flare's GitHub integration works under the hood
Last week, my colleague Ruben and I launched a major new feature at Flare: there's a new integration with GitHub that makes it possible to:
- create a GitHub issue directly on a Flare error
- associate a GitHub issue with a Flare error by mentioning a Flare URL in the GitHub issue
- automatically resolve an error on Flare when you close the GitHub issue
- automatically close a GitHub issue when you resolve an error in Flare
In this stream, Ruben and I will show you how you can use this integration and how it works under the hood.

In this video, you'll see the package in action, I explain the internals and the tests. If you prefer reading, continue below the video.
Controlling the flow of time in your tests
Our test-time package makes writing tests, for code that makes its decisions based on the current time, very easy.
Here's how we use the package for some tests in Mailcoach.
