How did I miss putting print statements in tests 🤦🏻♂️
Claude AI's Pytest anti-patterns:
1. Using test classes in pytest tests for no reason
2. Putting module fixtures in conftest instead of in the modules
3. Creating long doc strings for test functions
4. Unnecessarily fragile assertions

One thing I love about Open Source is that you can’t hide behind your BS.
Don’t tell me it has that feature. I can read the code. It doesn’t.
Don’t tell me “we support that” when I can see it clearly doesn’t.

I’ll be live in an hour with Stephen McCullough from NVidia to talking about Open models on serverless GPUs. We’ll be diving into the tech, demos and how to setup autoscaling.

If you demo an AI agent, it must be a weather demo. If you demo a multiagent, it must be a travel booking demo. This is written in law. Do not question it.
