I work with time a lot and have always advocated running practical simulations, especially over year changes, leap year changes, leap year days, etc. with the junior engineer I mentor as well as the hardware company that partners with us -- it's only recently after we got bitten by a time-based bug that people have started listening.
- taberiand 9y agoOf course, if they had listened and therefore never been bitten, they would have seen the work as a waste of time.
- sdrothrock 9y agoThat's the nature of the beast. I have to be the noisy guy about testing and also be the guy who doesn't say "I told you so," but instead continues pushing testing.
- Sylos 9y agoI mean, they would have noticed when a test actually runs into a problem, but yeah, it's not nearly as visible as something actually going wrong in production.
