Personally I think quality is cheaper. Sure, it takes some time to write tests and refactor things when you realize they need refactoring. But those things end up saving much more time than shortcuts that accrue technical debt and only get worse over time.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoI do it, because, every time I count myself, I come up with “1,” so my resources are very limited. I need to keep issue counts in the single digits (with the digit preferably “0”). I use a lot of dependencies, but I wrote most of them. Each is released as a standalone project (usually Swift packages), and testing code usually dwarfs implementation code. I write about my testing approach, here: https://littlegreenviper.com/various/testing-harness-vs-unit/ https://littlegreenviper.com/various/testing-harness-vs-unit...
