In this weekly livestream series, I pair up with Ted M. Young, aka jitterted, to look at Nullables and A-Frame Architecture as an alternative to Mocks, Spies, and Hexagonal Architecture. Each episode combines a healthy dose of architecture and design discussion with hands-on coding.

Watch us live every Monday! For details, see the event page. For more episode recordings, see the episode archive.

Our database wrapper is pretty much done, but we still have some design improvements to make. We write a test to make sure database updates work (they do), refactor our tests, then look at moving our dice validation logic to the HandOfDice class. That leads to some interesting conversations about how to design our logic code to handle errors cleanly.
