I'm curious if you have experienced people asking something as blunt and short-sighted as "why did you do this?" as the result of a blame. The blame should reveareveal the PR or commit that a change came from which should answer that question already You should also write tests. They ensure that your code works as intended. Some teammates might not understand that untested code can cause more development time since broken features will have to be fixed in production, so highlighting bugs that have to be fixed as well as writing tests thst cover as many cases as possible should shine some light for those still not understanding their value

That's the thing, I used to think tests are annoying but now I'm advocating for em, maybe a sign of growing up ha. Unfortunately not my call. Yeah it's just tone, tone changes the outcome of some conversation. Puts person on defensive, stops thinking, that kind of thing.

  I mean, I get it. Priorities can also affect things. I'm in a similar situation at work where the manager is pushing to get a project out as fast as possible at the expense of testing and even basic planning. It's only serving to make things much worse because all of the short sighted decisions are causing all kinds of new problems that could have been avoided entirely Sometimes it's easier to adopt better practices when moving to another team or project altogether
