Ignite Sessions
summary
Four short demos that give concrete takeaways: how to write unit tests without mocks by using Test Data Builders that use an in-memory H2 per test and a buildAndSave method to persist realistic defaults instead of fixtures; how to run a lightweight personal wiki with Obsidian plus the PARA system and a weekly inbox cleanup for reliable note retrieval; how solving Rubik’s Cubes teaches algorithm decomposition, deliberate practice and treating failing states like tests; and a Kotless Kotlin serverless demo that deploys a Lambda and email workflow but is outdated versus current Kotlin.
