Omg...do not like where this conversation is going. Handing people untested software is ridiculous. At that point we might as well have cooks dip thier hands in raw chicken before making your salad or encourage machinists to dawn long flowing scarves.
People who don't test don't test because they don't know how. They are hacks.
- sokoloff 4y agoNit: it’s “don” not dawn. Also hopefully interesting, the opposite of “don” is “doff”.
- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoBecause those are shorthands for “do on” and “do off”. Then again, don and doff are regular verbs — donned, doffed.
- jfim 4y ago> People who don't test don't test because they don't know how. They are hacks. Or maybe they're just doing a different trade off. Do you unit test all of your shell scripts and jupyter notebooks? If not, why is that? Is it that some code is either obvious enough or doesn't warrant having tests for it? There's a spectrum of testing, from zero tests (which is fine for throwaway code), to testing a few key components and having end to end tests for the rest, to having 100% branch coverage. One should write enough tests that they're confident about the quality of the software that they're shipping, and no more, in my opinion.
