The ever-vigilant mst overheard a conversation on the same topic, and jumped in. He pointed out that <code>Test::MockObject</code> (and everything using it) overrides <code>UNIVERSAL::isa</code> in a way that hides bugs. Because it can hide bugs, it is <strong>definitely not safe</strong> to use in a test suite, where you&rsquo;re trying to uncover bugs.</p> https://hashbang.ca/post/yapcna-day-three Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:00:00 -0400 https://hashbang.ca/post/yapcna-day-three/ <h2 id="miyagawa-strikes-again">Miyagawa strikes again</h2> <p>On day three (read about days <a href="https://hashbang.ca/post/yapcna-day-1">one</a> and <a href="https://hashbang.ca/post/yapcna-day-2">two</a>), I spent most of my time socializing and networking rather than attending talks.</p> https://hashbang.ca/post/my-yapcna-2011-lightning-talk Thu, 30 Jun 2011 01:37:00 -0400 https://hashbang.ca/post/my-yapcna-2011-lightning-talk/ <p>Well, YAPC::NA 2011 in Asheville, NC is over, and I had the opportunity (after getting <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/_doherty/status/85823322738262016">bumped</a> around more than a couple times) to give a lightning talk as part of the final session. I had previously done a <a href="https://hashbang.ca/post/the-death-of-tribal-knowledge">blog post</a> on the subject, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts with a wider audience.</p>
