Evrone developmentАнвар Туйкин и Михаил Поспелов [Toptal] / Сказ о неработающих гайдлайнах: Toptal, GraphQL и линтерыToptal это огромный монолит на Ruby: сотни разработчиков и миллионы написанных строк кода. Мы используем GraphQL, которого при таких масштабах тоже немало: больше 20 схем. Чтобы раз за разом не повторять типовых ошибок и писать похожий код, мы разработали правила "готовки" для GraphQL внутри компании. Но правила не работают сами по себе, поэтому в докладе я расскажу о наших копах для rubocop, матчерах для rspec и генераторах: какие штуки в GraphQL мы проверяем, почему это важно и что из наших лучших практик вы можете заимствовать для своих проектов.

Now, as many companies begin transitioning to a more flexible – or even fully remote – model, a new question arises: how can I trust that they’ll get the work done? As Michelle Labbe states in this podcast, people are more productive working at home than in an office. Michelle Labbe has worked in HR for over...
