Yeah, I said it. Come at me.
Before you start typing that angry comment, hear me out. I'm not saying "don't test." I'm saying I stopped writing te...

While the title is clickbait, the post has some solid points.
Only testing in production is the one thing I would not recommend. A better solution is using a CI/CD pipeline or an acceptance environment, or both.
I'm still waiting for a project or company advocating test coverage in real life. Except for some formal quality gatekeeping pre-commit hooks and a bunch of professional QA coworkers, all that I kept hearing for decades was that developers tend too much towards perfectionism and we should rather be more pragmatic and accept shipping lower quality.
Of course it makes little sense to strive for 100% code coverage just to satisfy quantitative metrics, as that still does not guarantee 100% edge case coverage and it will waste time testing what was already tested in within a library or would have immediate effects on something already tested within another scenario. On the other hand, most development teams still don't test enough or not at all, and I'm afraid that many of those people will delight in reading a headline like this one. "I Stopped Writing Tests and My Code Got Better" might be true, but it can too easily be misunderstood to justify neglecting quality assurance.
I think the clickbait titles go with the current attention span. If it is not spectacular you don't get views.
It is not a good evolution, but if you can use it to get good information out it is gaming the system, not?
I am agree with you, I am just sharing my experience
plzz use my Ai Problem solve
A great comment: "Most tests are just checking if functions return what you told them to return. That's not testing, that's just... writing the same logic twice."
Thanks Sahil Sahu.
We have become too addicted to these unit tests.
I've been through that from a very long time.
Writing good tests instead of writing tests for the sake of writing tests is a good solution I find.
True, Mny people dont test well, just run some written tests overall system architecture every components needs to be tested in overall enviroment
I actually aim for 100% coverage in my Python projects. It helps track breakpoints after any change. AI handles most of the unit tests.
Hey bro wanna connect just looking for friends who’s also in web dev
sure
