Software developer trying to bring order into his craft. I write about my journey, thoughts, and practices. Currently focused on web frontend with React.
That's a great observation. A lot of developers don't know how to write tests and how to write testable code. I think that a lot of that has to do with the culture of the company they're in. Especially when we're talking about project-based companies, which tend to privilege shipping as soon as possible vs. reducing the cost of development on the medium to long term, it's a kind of environment that privileges hacks over a sustained practice, which makes testing and TDD hard to flourish. So it's unlikely for someone working in a situation like that to be given the time to learn or to have someone to teach them how to test/TDD. At least, that's my experience.
