Minitest added randomization back in 2008 (afaik, before anyone else, it even took rspec 4 years to follow suit) as an easy means of ensuring your tests were actually independent of each other. Parallelization will take that a step further and make sure you don’t have any dependencies...
I’m tired of the complications that tools like bundler and rvm inject into my system and my workflow. I don’t want 4 billion gems installed globally. I don’t want to have rake slow down for no good reason. I don’t want rvm to regress on undefined variables over and over and over (and ...

This is my sixteenth entry detailing my personal “productivity pr0n ”. Finally! My secret weapon! My holy grail! My silver bullet! Or… something. autotest.el is available on my emacswiki page . All it does is run autotest inside of a special compile-mode/shell-mode combo that is speci...
