What I tried to say was: in some programming languages, this insert will not even compile. So you don't have to write a test, you don't have to spin up a test database or anything, it just doesn't compile. And I prefer that over having to wait until a query is actually sent before I get an error.
This is relevant for me because 1.) it makes me more productive since I get the error much quicker and I don't have to write a test and 2.) it prevents getting calls in the night because something broke.
I hope that makes it clear.

Yeah, but that doesn't invalidate my original point, does it?
- lelanthran 2y agoI don't really have time to discuss this in depth, but note that: 1) I still disagree somewhat on the finer points, and 2) I've upvoted your post anyway because other than the finer points on which I disagree, you make good points anyway. Cheers :-)
