I'm a software engineer working in the intellectual property space. When I'm not at work, I'm at home with the family which includes a wife, son, two cats, guitars, and a varying number of banjos.
First, let me correct any impressions that I'm going to force this change on my team without taking into account any of their concerns. We had a long discussion about this and I absolutely said his concerns are valid and I that would do some research into how we can find some kind of middle ground that would work for us all. I actually make it a point to listen to and empathize with my teammates, because every concern they have, everything they are feeling as a developer, I've also been there.
I've also never been one to say that automated tests are some kind of magic bullet, and am still a vocal proponent of having a QA person on-hand to test for correct application behavior or regressions.
I can see how in my original post, I may have come across as some authoritarian who imposes policies as I please without considering the concerns of others. That's not the case, but I regret that it may have come across that way in my attempt to be concise.
Having said all that, the feedback is appreciated.
