Questions

github repo for this kata: https://github.com/tonytvo/coffee-machine-kata
what’s the right input?
how can we write tests without writing the parser
which one is correct?
- seems like we lean toward T:0:1 on the input intent?
here’s the PR I have on refactoring practice -> https://github.com/tonytvo/coffee-machine-kata/pull/1
What have you learned?
- this kata is very rich in term of domain/functional tibbits
- once I finish encapsulating drinks and ingredients, I started to realize couple other domain concepts like inventory, recipes, etc…
- seems like introduce parameter is very helpful, keep surface to the top as much as possible
- the better we are as introduce parameter, dependency, the more we can clear recognize the boundaries between different parts, like model, view controller
- focus more on reading so we can understand more on what’s needed
- we have disagreed on what the requirements looks like
- we don’t have to understand test framework, we spend time in the wrong direction
- before we spend time on the task, we need to spent time on understanding the requirement
- we expect the string and then use some regex .. kind of like cucumber
- we all made good points
- communicate with kindness, intention, respect, and considerate
- we’re confusing on the string format
- we all have our interpretation
- we have some difficulty to start up the gitpod from a person that’s not the owner of the git repo
- at the end of refactor, I keep having the feeling that is so close, want to finish it off and getting sloppy and combine multiple small refactor together
a strategy I followed?
- functional calisthenics and object calisthenics
the steps I followed?
- Arlo commit notation
