Changing tests is work, yes. Unit tests are precisely about verifying implementations, and maintaining them is the price you pay for having these layers of verification. It's inertia in the way a safety net is a barrier.
- hinkley 11y agoI have always found the 'safety net' analogy uninspiring, and people who think they're tough and manly don't need safety nets, thankyouverymuch. Now, safety equipment in a race car is something else entirely. Half of it keeps you from dying immediately on impact, sure, but the other half actually lets you go faster. The 5 point harness, for example, helps keep you from losing control of the vehicle during high G maneuvers, by keeping your torso in the seat and therefore your legs and arms in (roughly) the correct orientation to the steering wheel and the pedals.
