Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on this article 🙂 Today I'm going to tell you something dramatic: On a beautiful spring afternoon, you're working on your server via your favorite terminal and all of a sudden boom. Nothing responds. You try to open the web sites you're managing, and nothing happens. It just keeps going until the browser times out. 🤦♂️ This is exactly what happened to me a few days ago, and I wouldn't recommend this experience...

Today, I've chosen a subject that is sometimes neglected by developers, but is nonetheless very practical: testing. No, I'm not talking about testing your code before sending it to production by pressing F5 to see if everything works. 😛 I'm talking about automated tests that you write following the logic of an algorithm to create practical cases that can be launched at different times. Imagine you have an e-commerce site and you want to test that a product is actually added to...

Why can content creation increase sales? The first question to ask yourself is "What do you sell?". For most of you, the answer would be "I sell development time" or "I sell training courses"... and so on. But really? No... "What? What do you mean? I'm...
