Great post. I think it's also important to note that a large value of tests come from making it easier to debug issues users do see. Tests give you all the things that are not going to be the cause.

I once worked at a company where a specific system took hours to debug when something came up. We eventually rewrote it with tests. Bugs still popped up, but they took 15 minutes for us to debug, fix the code, and deploy.
