Roseau, a new breaking-change detector for Java libraries, compares your code against your last released baseline and fails the build when the API contract breaks. JUnit already uses it. The reflex says the compiler and tests cover this, but if that were the case, updates would be easier than they are.

This is a working example of using red/green testing to fix a bug - one that starts in the issue description and lives in the code. You can fix the issue, but the bug remains because it's part of an unexamined specification. Testing - and caring - are the fix.
Github user asmo0dey has created an application that provides live audience polling for slidev presentations, using docker, Spring, vue, and either PostgreSQL or H2. It's got a lot of benefit for presentations, of course, but it also looks designed well.
