Ah, now, that really works for me ...
The reason that it transcends the stereotypical cartoonic tropes is that it simultaneously embraces the zeitgeist and underlying notions of classical inter-personal theorisation with an added soupcon of whimsy which sugar-coats the fundamental expository of the notion that language can never transcend the merely personal. The bathetic effect of the ultimate frame contraindicates the heroic, yet doomed, optimism of the exposition bring us to a rousing coda unifying the disparate elements of the piece into a crystalline gestalt. The Wittgensteinian undertones provide a scintillating counterpoint to the contemporary setting. 9/10

IOW, bullshit.

In this case you need the glasses equivalent

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I wonder if they also filter out "wine snob" bullshit?

Haha...
This is a hard one for me.
Each trade has it's own jargon.
Each profession has it's own jargon.
They need it.
It isn't just spoken to exclude and annoy others.
Some of the jargon that I used to use in the past has become normal speak almost.
There is always someone who is excluded though.
What really annoys me is the fashionable buzz words and bullshit words.
Oh and the best for filtering out "wine snob" bullshit is to drink more wine.
Works for me.
(WOMM)
Sometimes my ears and brain does it for me anyway....
I just hear "Blah Blah Blah"
So no need to buy those expensive headphones.

I hate mock. I mean not in general, in general I don't care I just think they are a waste of time.
But I particularly hate them in the case of automated testing.
Not only they make you waste time writing code to set them up in each test, but then you are not testing the real thing, you are testing mocks!
Now the funny thing is, I had some unit test that validated some functionality as working but it was not working for the user and I was completely puzzled...
After writing a little app to test the real thing, turns out I had one insidious mock in my test. Just one. And that was the one thing that worked in the test but failed in the real app!
On top of that it was completely unneeded.. the real interface would have worked just as well (or failed, in that case)

Well, they're unit tests, so you're testing units, not multiple units or entire systems (other tests exist for that).
And from the perspective of the unit you're testing it doesn't really matter if IRepository.GetData gets the data from a database, a service or a mock.
From the perspective of the test is does matter since the database and service can't be controlled from the test scenario, but a mock can.
A mock will always return x when the input is y, a database or service might not.
And then the thing you're actually testing can always use value x which should always return value z, which can be asserted.
public int AddOneToDbField(IRepository repo)
{
int dbField = repo.GetNumber();
return dbField + 1;
}If you want to test your repository you should do stuff like integration testing, although I've also seen unit tests that connect to databases.
But if you're testing your mocks you might not be doing it right

Then you're doing your unit testing wrong.

Maybe the code is mocking you?

"Unanswered" is a bit of a misnomer as some have been "de-answered".
Take a look at the top one on the list, for example - it's protected due to answers having to be removed. Whether that's an OP not accepting one or an overzealous mod or a genuine case of all the answers being totally unhelpful, we will never know.
