I'm attending the Global Leadership Summit, and Craig Groeschel is talking about faithfulness in the boring things making you great over time, and I thought of how this applies to testing our code!
Taking the time to do the "boring" and "slow" actions like writing tests, if we do that over time, we will always end up with building great apps and becoming great developers.
But when we avoid being faithful in doing the consistent "boring" and "slow" things, we may get really quick big wins, but they will be not impacting anyone or anything in the long term.
Not testing means we get a fancy app quickly, but it will be fragile and breaking, and it means we won't grow as well in being dedicated disciplined developers that grow a lot in our knowledge and ability to architect an app well.
What do you think @nunomaduro ? 😆 #GLS25

In my opinion, there has to be a balance. Speed to go to live is also important to some extent, but being careful is too.
