We didn't used to worship tests. We used to write them, mainly for detecting
regressions. Perl's CPAN society developed whole standards around testing
(ever heard of Test Anything Protocol?), and that was in the late '80s.
- draw_down 9y agoOK, but JS used to just be straight-up untested, except perhaps in end-to-end tests which even then would be extremely brittle. We didn't test, really.
