There are times when the thoughts you have in your mind cannot be explained. You can't call these feelings...in the meaning of ... I have a feeling that...
This is when if you try to explain you fears you are not understood...people, colleagues look at you with the "who are you" look on their face...and you can't stop asking the question...who is not seeing the big picture...you ore the others?
Testing is important...may I say...very important part of a developers life. You create something, following your inner intuition and skills and than you need a proof that it is really something useful.. and it does make an impact...or it scratches and itch. Testing gives you this feedback.
When you don't have tests or you are too busy to write tests...is like playing the Russian roulette...you might get shot...and being shot hurts...so they say.
This time of the year everyone is thinking about the winter holiday...they rush to push things out...things need to be done...finished...and tests are not important.
This is the time when I feel that I am not proud of the work we do as a team...and as much as I push for "open your eyes people" all I get is "you are right...but...this is not possible at this moment" ... we "will fix this next year".
...so you end up keeping your ideas, thoughts, to yourself...and add this to the pile of sorrow...
Maybe things will be better next year...
Happy holidays, and get some well deserved rest...I sure will.
