But if we didn't care about defects, developers could confidently make changes to existing code without having tests.
The end goal is still avoiding defects, helping developers is just the "middle-man".
- nickff 6y agoI agree with this view, and would like to add that I see improving the tests available to the developer as really speeding up the OODA loop of development.
- hinkley 6y agoThe interim goal is objective confidence, not Dunning-Kruger confidence. That’s how you go faster. There’s always someone who’s willing to plow ahead, safeties off, and ignore the warning signs they see and the complaints of their peers. Denial is a hell of a drug (“That bug can’t be in my code, la la la can’t hear you look how fast I’m going!”). Some people need a little back pressure.
