I'm experimenting with providing a commenting system to Everyday Rails for the first time in years. Be polite!

Hey @ruralocity, I just rediscovered and re-subscribed to your newsletter after a-bit-overzealously unsubscribing from everything a few months ago. (Life with a toddler can push you to do these things, heh.)

Anyway I found this post through https://jardo.dev/system-tests-are-totally-fine, which in turn I found through Jared's Dead Code podcast.

Also, I have Everyday Testing on my wish list. I'm waiting for the updates to settle down since the aforementioned toddler doesn't give me a lot of time to read and re-read things 😄

Hi @fpsvogel! Yes, Jared mentioned the post to me as well. Good luck with toddler time! :D
