I learned that junior developers don't write tests in their jobs
Not my junior devs 😝
After years of hacking away at things and making them work, it's so refreshing to have the confidence to share my code with a mentor and get feedback (even when the feedback is basically, "Tear it all down and start over, but here's where to start and what to think about").
Yes, precisely! I've written tests for every bit of code I've written on the job over the past nine months; it's very clearly a required task for any junior dev role worth having. Being able to articulate the importance of testing and how it improves the development process and finished codebase are pretty important to finding a dev job, but my opinion on that was wildly divergent from GA's party line.

Very well-put

Yes. But I can't say I know for sure how I would approach introducing testing. It's a contentious subject to say the least.
