Inheriting legacy code without tests feels like walking through a minefield. You know it needs refactoring, but you're terrified to touch it because you don't know what subtle behaviours might break. 🧵 1/4

Stop asking the sci-fi question: 'Is it conscious?' Start asking the engineering question: 'Is this a powerful, unpredictable component being put somewhere consequential, and where's the feedback that tells us that it's safe?

that the number they report upward is not the number we actually run on. in banking we kept two states, the one on the dashboard and the one we planned around at our desks. nobody lied, we just never volunteered the gap, because closing it becomes your job.
