I like having tests but I would bet if you audit you production stack it's very likely that a very large portion of it does not really have tests yet is prob most stable part of your stack like Linux kernel etc.
- simonhamp 9y agoOf course, just because you haven’t personally written tests for parts of a stack doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t write tests for other parts, especially the parts you’ve created. Also don’t forget that certain things like Linux are extremely battle-tested. It’s generally unlikely that any piece of software you write will receive that much real-world testing, so a growing set of automated tests will help you cover your own arse.
