What's this all about?

The goal of the Call Kent Podcast is to get my answers to your questions. You record your brief question (120 seconds or less) right from your browser. Then I listen to it later and give my response, and through the magic of technology (ffmpeg), our question and answer are stitched together and published to the podcast feed.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Description

When we were building client side application mocking during e2e tests was a bit easier because you could just monkey patch fetch and call it a day. Today we also control the server so the line has a bit shifted. There are solutions, like MSW, to mock on the server side too but what if instead of an API call you query a db?
