You're taking two desktop applications, written in Zig and Rust respectively, and extrapolating their lack of testing rigor as evidence that "there’s no correlation between software quality and tests"? Really?
Have you tried maintaining quality in enterprise software without tests? If you ever manage to do so, I'd be very interested to read about it.
- misternugget 3y agoHey, author here. Yeah, I worked at Sourcegraph and I do think we built some high-quality stuff and we did write tests. I also think a lot of them were necessary. But, like I wrote here, I think that maybe we/I sometimes overdid it with tests and I'm not so sure about the use of /some/ of them anymore.
