This pattern:
test('whatever', () => {
const foo = someThing()
// use foo
})
makes for a WAY simpler testbase than:
let foo
beforeEach(() => {
foo = someThing()
})
test('whatever', () => {
// use foo
})
Avoid mutable variables. Your tests will be easier to understand

To be clear, you can see what I recommend in kcd.im/aha-testing
Mostly what bothers me is sharing variables and nesting of `describe` blocks. I've written a lot of tests, and nesting makes them so much harder to follow.
There's obviously a lot of confusion around this. So I think I know how to get a write in my next blog post 😅
