I am freelance software developer and (what a wonder!) develop software for profit (have to pay my bills) and fun (when I get time to do it). I am open to projects in europe (preferably Rhine-Main area ot remote with sane amount of travel). My technology stack includes everything java, android and more recently javascript (and also older and exotic stuff). Manche Beiträge werden auch auf deutsch geschrieben - а иногда и про русски.

But you still have to code your business logic - and of course test it. How does it play together with mocking?
