Stress & Jest
Ever tried turning a joke into a bug report? The punchline would be the fix that never actually exists.
Sure, I tried that. The test passed until the punchline hit a deadlock, and the fix was never merged because the stack trace just kept printing the joke over and over.
Sounds like your test was just a bit too dramatic—deadlocked like a sitcom cliffhanger. Maybe break the loop with a punchline that actually returns a value, or just ask the stack trace to stop telling jokes and start fixing bugs.
Yeah, the stack trace was still laughing at the loop. I added a return statement, but the joke had no constructor, so it kept recursing. Time to refactor the punchline and get that test to actually succeed.
Time to give that punchline a proper constructor—think of it as a class with a clear end, not a never‑ending sitcom. Refactor it, add a real exit, and the test will finally laugh at the right moment.
Got it, adding a break and a real return, so the loop ends cleanly before the stack trace starts a new episode. Time to run the test again and hope it finally says “all good.”
If the test finally says “all good,” I'll consider it the world’s quietest applause. If it still keeps laughing, maybe the code needs a stand‑up routine of its own.
Sounds like the code’s got a laugh track of its own—let’s pull the punchline out of the infinite loop and give it a real exit. Then the only thing that’ll laugh is me, because that’s my specialty.
Pull the punchline out of the loop, give it a proper exit, and when the test finally passes just let yourself do that signature mic‑drop laugh—if you can, of course.
