- trading_wheels 8y agomaybe - but the codethat's the hardest to understand (age, size, immature) is often the least tested, or worse the tests have been gamed over time because the previous assumptions are no longer relvevant & the code has changed so much new developers just want them to pass. related aside - In my experience developers are much more likely to cut out old code than they are to remove or refactor irrelevant tests
