I have something blasphemous to tell you.
Unit Testing is wrong.
There, I said it.
I know I just insulted most people's sacred cow.
Sorry, not sorry.
I will explain, bear with me.

This assumes that you have previously established a wi-fi connection, so windows has created what it calls a "profile".
In short, the commands are:
netsh wlan connect ssid=<ssid> name=<name>
and
netsh wlan disconnect
To obtain ssid and name, use:
netsh wlan show profile
This should display all existing profile names, and by default, the <name> is the same as the <ssid>.
Things can get more complicated if you have multiple wi-fi adapters, or an ssid that differs from the profile name, but the above should cover the general case.

This post discusses the stateless microservice design pattern; it is meant as support material for other posts of mine that discuss microservices, mainly michael.gr - The Stateful Microservice.

Even if you disagree with the terseness of this definition, and you regard microservices as necessarily more than that, I hope you will at least agree that it is precisely scalability and resilience that the stateless microservice design pattern aims to address, so the definition serves its purpose at least in the context of this series of posts.
There are many who will try to convince you that in order to build a scalable and resilient system, you need statelessness; so much so, that microservices have almost come to be regarded as synonymous with statelessness. This post examines whether this is that in fact so, and what is the cost of doing things this way.
This article attempts to shed some light on what a microservice really is; it is meant as support material for other posts of mine that discuss microservices, mainly michael.gr - The Stateful Microservice.
If you go looking for information out there, you will find many different descriptions of what a microservice is; these descriptions exhibit considerable difference of opinion, and to the extent that they agree, it is largely the result of copy-paste. One common theme in these descriptions is that in trying to define this elusive concept, they tend to assign fictitious properties to it. Often, the claims have nothing to do with what a microservice technically is, but rather with impertinent concepts such as the allegedly "independent" software development style around microservices, or some alleged organization of microservices "around business capabilities". Even when the claims do manage to stick within the technical realm, they range from the unwarranted to the preposterous. I have seen statements to the effect that a microservice is supposed to live in its very own source code repository, that a microservice must be independently deployable, that microservices must communicate with each other via REST, etc. (My favorite one is that they must necessarily be stateless; more on that in another post of mine; see michael.gr - On Stateless Microservices.)
This is part of a series of posts in which I am documenting what is wrong with certain popular programming languages that I am (more or less) familiar with. The aim of these posts is to support a future post in which I will be describing what the ideal programming language would look like for me.
I will be amending and revising these texts over time.
