This is not a complaint about Webpack or v4 in any way. This is just a record of my process trying it out so I could provide feedback to the webpack team

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases).

// # Mocha Guide to Testing
// Objective is to explain describe(), it(), and before()/etc hooks

// 1. `describe()` is merely for grouping, which you can nest as deep
// 2. `it()` is a test case

//
// Which means, `before()` is run before first it()/describe()
