A common sentiment toward automated testing is that it's extra work. And it is! So is Git. Or data structures. Or system design. Or code reviews. The point is not it being something extra you do. The point is what extra *value* it brings you if you do it.

Why automate it if you can do it manually, again and again and again and… 😅

I can’t imagine how much work it would be to manually test everything instead of using automated tests. I can move so much faster when running a test suite tells me I didn’t break anything and therefore can keep moving forward.

The value of git and code reviews is immediate. I learned testing in OSS because the value of testing there is immediate as well — libraries can't afford to be wrong. But within web app teams you have QA testers, writing tests seem almost superfluous! …until the ones you did write prove you wrong 😄
