Allen Iverson on writing tests:
If I can't write tests, I can't write tests. If I merged, I merged. I mean, simple as that.
If I can't write tests, I can't write tests. If I merged, I merged. I mean, simple as that.
It's easy to talk about. It's easy to sum it up when you just talking about tests. We sitting here, I supposed to be the lead developer, and we in here talking about tests.
I mean listen, we talking about tests, not an app, not an app, NOT AN APP, we talking about tests.
Not an app. Not the app I go out there and die for and deploy every version like it's my last. Not the app, we talking about tests man. I mean, how silly is that? We talking about tests.
I know I'm supposed to write them. I know I'm supposed to lead by example. I know that. I'm not shoving it aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important. I do. I honestly do, but we talking about tests man.
What are we talking about? TESTS?! We're talking about tests man. We ain't talking about the app. We talking about tests man.
When you come into the office and you see me code; you see me code don't you? You see me give everything I got right? But we talking about tests right now.
We not even talking about the app, the actual app, which matters. We talking about tests.
How the HELL can I make the team better by writing tests? What about my code? Is my code going to get better by writing tests? Do that hurt me as a developer because this person didn't write tests?
What you mean I don't need to test as much? What you mean I'm the superstar? So why we talking about getting fired? I mean you're contradicting the hell out yourself man.
If I'm the best developer in the world, then why is this happening? Why? If I'm the best in the world. If I'm supposed to be the superstar, then why are we having this meeting? Talking about tests.
