In my experience, managers are the ones pushing developers to skip tests, bug reports, etc.
Most of them are content to simply pile on new functionality, without any concept of polish, refinement, or how allocating time for technical work can speed up the delivery of that functionality.
- noisy_boy 3y agoMost of the time, this short-circuits: understanding importance of code quality/testing && willingness to allocate dedicated time to achieve code quality && having ability/position/power to withstand management's pressure on just deliveries In over twenty years of my career, the value was "true" only twice.
- grepfru_it 3y agoalso when that value becomes "true", pay tends to be below the average
- noisy_boy 3y agofwiw, it was wayy below average for me the first time, and was wayy above average the second :)
- bombolo 3y agoDepends on the manager and on the developer. I've seen "senior" developers that are very happy to skip writing tests (or write useless tests that basically just return true) even though their management was happy to allocate the time to do decent testing.
