Do we need RSpec?
Matt and Justin talk about RSpec and testing DSLs and try to answer the question "do we need them?"
It’s the season finale of YAGNI! Thanks for all of your support as I tried something a bit different for the past month of “Boring Rails” content.
We’ll be back to the “regular” style of Rails tips and articles after the holidays.

YAGNI is the first software podcast I've subscribed to in years and I've actually enjoyed each episode
YAGNI has some really nice discussions about current software practices <3. Loving both episodes that are out now. Really worth a listen.
This week I am joined by Justin Searls to talk about RSpec:
The history of RSpec and how it served a certain need at a certain time
Why people like RSpec over Minitest
The difficulty of DSLs on non-native English speakers
The “Fast Rails Tests” movement
Justin’s alternative suite of testing gems

Stay boring!
