Testing is hard, as can be seen in the last two episodes. That's why I looked around for better alternatives and found proptest. Let's take a look at proptest, a library for automatically generating testcases similar to quickcheck (of Haskell fame). We will parse informal english dates like "4th of September 1927" using Proptest and TDD.

It might come as a surprise to you, but every once in a while even I make a mistake.

Preparing, recording, and editing an episode takes a substantial amount of time (around 30 hours total). I do all of this next to my fulltime dayjob.
