Serious question, I've been programming 15 odd years, somewhere around a million people used my code last year, I've written entire sites on my own that happily run today.
I don't write tests. Projects that already had tests, those tests caught a single bug in about 3.5 years of working on that code base.
Yes, 1 bug. We'd have picked it up anyway when actually testing it.
Why do you feel #1 or #16 are actually true?
Am I (and colleagues) a magic snowflake, or are tests a massive waste of time, or is it somewhere in the middle?
