I don’t agree on testing. It’s been a long time since I bought into that, and even tests for uncertain behavior to have confidence is a form of tech debt, as the developer that follows you must make a decision whether to maintain the test or to delete it; its value doesn’t usually last. An exception would be verifying expected behavior of a library or service that must stay consistent, but that is not the job of most developers.
