It's a cultural problem. _I_ can do that, but my colleagues will just continue to write minimum effort tests against huge json files or database dumps where you have no idea why something failed and why there are a bunch of assertions against undocumented magic numbers in the first place. It's like you're fighting against a hurricane with a leaf blower. A single person can only do so much. I end up looking bad in the daily standup because I take longer to work on my tickets but the code quality doesn't even improve in a measurable way.
