> So I think it's fair to say that (despite certain engineering books and management directives) the optimal number of tests isn't as many as we can possibly come up with.

Are there really (mainstream, well-regarded) books which promote the idea of endlessly ideating and writing tests? This isn't a narrative I'm aware of?

In a previous life as a front-end developer using Sass, I had a single z-indexes module in which they would all be defined.

As an aside, isn't it a little weird for a legal document such as this to use his initials over something more formal like "Mr Bankman-Fried"?

The struck-through:

Really made me chuckle. As a non-Apple user who has to put up with Homepods, this rings so very true.

I share your perspective. Ultimately, I see the situation as somewhat analogous to having a professional work on your house. You rely on their expertise to direct what is and isn't essential, and really lack any ability to measure the outcome (e.g. is this harder wearing material or building technique really worth the extra time and money).

Again, as you say, I think the solution is simply to develop trust with the stakeholders to whom you're trying to sell the ideas. Technical leads - in a unique position of understanding the costs and the benefits - must be vigilant to bat away the spurious claims that certain topics (such as those you mention) require addressing, as trust lost is difficult to recoup.
