If the code is brittle to change, it must not have been particularly safe in the first place, right? And if it's well-tested, maybe that condition is achieved

If the code is brittle to change, it must not have been particularly safe in the first place, right?
And if it's well-tested, maybe that condition is achieved by the use of a test suite which could verify the changes are safe too?

- striking 1y agoI'm not sure if that's how probability works.
