Unit Testing actually helps me writing my code. It's like a rubberduck in a certain way. And there is no need for TDD do get this advantage out of it. On top of it there is a lot of code in the backend that is no fun to test manually at all. Therefore I can see why people skip it on the frontend if everything seems to work after the hot reload.
And high maintenance is a myth in most cases.
Couldn't agree more. Strict TDD is a myth as well, at least the way it's presented by the book: fully writing test cases before everything.
I'm inclined to think nobody does that. Instead, you get a synergy between the test and the code and they sort of drive each other. When the code is immature, the tests are as well. They beautifully grow together.
