Revisiting an previous "UI component testing" blog entry for a 2025 update with a React/TypeScript example -> https://paulhammant.com/2025/06/17/ui-component-testing-revisited/ Also features a wildly inaccurate app that calculates car speeds based on mic-recorded doppler shift.

Hey @damianedwards.com is there a way with .NET 10 preview 4 (and onwards) to do relative package deps compatible with "dotnet run sourcefile.cs"? I'm making a multi-language edu piece to teach how Google maintains a multi-lang monorepo. Fingers crossed you've patience for unconventional things

I changed one of the components for the google-monorepo-sim from Java to Kotlin. So there's three languages used in this monorepo now - Java, Rust and Kotlin. Two stdout-using main() style applications within using all three: https://github.com/paul-hammant/google-monorepo-sim

The silly google-monorepo-sim thing I was working on (Java and Rust modules, directed acyclic graph build system that isn't Bazel), I've added a .NET application and components that also uses the Rust .so within. Well, or should cos I've hit a wall https://github.com/paul-hammant/google-monorepo-sim/tree/dot_net_app_and_components_wip

For https://github.com/paul-hammant/tiny-timeline I'm playing with Google's Jules immersive AI playground. It's pretty good but slow at the moment. Or maybe not as force-page-reload sometimes sees progress when that wasn't apparent before.

I've uploaded a talk to YouTube: https://youtube.com/watch?v=L67ri_xe2oQ. Subject is "Google's directed acyclic graph build system for monorepos with special sparse-checkout features versus classic depth-first recursive types"

I'm about to update my tbd-book.com to have a worked example of a Google-style monorepo (multi-module, Java & Rust, tests, albeit a contrived application not a real one). As part of that I've used a small bash build system because it better serves an education purpose
