Your code is full of bugs, you just haven't noticed yet.
Whether that matters or not (to you or your end users) is your grey ground in the middle.
It's possible you've only ever worked on things that are simple or obvious enough to not have the need for tests, and that code that never changes. Especially if that's UI code, where you're testing it manually as you write it, you may be able to live with this on small code bases.
If you have never worked in an environment where the benefit of at least some level of automated testing is not blindingly obvious, my advice to you is to stop doing the same thing over and over and find a new job.
- mattmanser 8y agoProjects with unit tests are also riddled with bugs. I have absolutely no respect for your attitude or your comment. Sanctimonious zealotry like yours should have no place in our industry. It's disgusting that you think you can tell someone they're shit or trivialize their work because you disagree with their workflow.
- HereBeBeasties 8y agoI hardly think that encouraging someone to seek out alternative positions from which to view the world, and a suggestion that there is a grey area for all this constitutes zealotry. Quite the opposite, in fact. And in my experience projects with unit tests are far _less_ riddled with bugs, which is the whole point, no? And I don't know understand why on earth you think I'm telling anyone they are "shit". I'd advise someone to broaden their horizons if they said they thought functional programming was worthless, or that assembly language was always pointlessly low level, or any one of a number of possible assertions that wouldn't sit well with me. That is far from "you are shit" - it's much more assuming they are not shit, but haven't had the right context yet.
