Adam...

Your statement on finding a tool that really helped and incentivized you to 'lean into it to get more out of it', resonates with me (to the moon and back).

My first experience with this concept was back in 1988. I had put out a production bug that cost millions to fix. I was so upset at myself I went to their huge on campus tech library and checked out every book they had on software testing. This book changed my carrier and confidence levels.

I learned how Unit Testing objectives made my code bullet proof. So I leaned into the concept more and more thoughout my career. It was a major boost all the way around.

Today, I still willingly embrace unit test, as there's no substitute for it.
