And that makes it the third time this week that I encountered a bug involving DynamoDB that was avoidable with a unit test that actually used a proper database.

Meme of the Simpsons featuring the purple Stern lecture Plumbing van, with the text modified to say 'Stern Lecture Coding' and 'I told you not to Mock that'.

(To be fair, this time is was my fault: I haven’t got around to writing the unit test yet).
