If there is one step change I'd want to see in software development it is in testing developer experience.
I agree with everything you say here, but I feel like testing approaches these days don't live up to may ultimate satisfactions. The tradeoffs between rigidity and soundness just aren't where I want them to be for my ideal. Even the best tools that exist are quite unsatisfactory for me.
I enjoy TDD and love a good regression test to save my butt and help me contribute with confidence, but having tried a lot of tools out there — some of which are definitely upgrades over the most popular tools, I still feel like everything falls short of where I feel it could be.
Hear, hear! I have the same (poor) experience and end up writing a lot of my own scripts to try and paper over the ugly corners of my tooling. But, yeah, this is a huge area of growth for us all to explore together. A hearty amen to that
