And he can build businesses without worrying about testing. Except slow, manual testing end-to-end. Cool for him. Obviously, based on comments here, not everyone agrees.
I'm a test dev. I live my work-life in this stuff: figuring out how to efficiently, effectively give non-test devs the best feedback at the right times and in the right ways to speed them up. They are individual flames and I am gasoline.
Many companies start like Steinberg. And many of those automate those exact manual steps through the UI, testing everything end-to-end. That's where it stops being cool and starts being a really stupid waste of time and money. E2E tests are the least effective, slowest, flakiest way to test, it's often done really inefficiently, and I see all kinds of companies invest ridiculous sums in it. Most of those efforts slow down development. Boo!
More power to Steinberg for cutting waste and doing only the testing he needs. When your next company has millions, look me up. I'm a tester. I solve business problems.
