     @lain @matrix tests are a degenerate form of writing contracts for your code

     @sun Older Python code is the biggest struggle, lot of new Python code has type hints now

     @sun @matrix i think that's a difference between functional and imperative programming, the small-function style of most functional programming works well with test-first development.

     @lain @matrix I'm half kidding and half serious, tests are good but imo best for regression prevention

     @lain @matrix @sun nope. It all depends on how vast the input space is and how many possible combinations of edge cases it contains. That's one reason I switched from Erlang to Haskell some years ago. I still do tests in Haskell, but those are to catch regressions and to test against some known specification.

     @lain @matrix in my last job I struggled with breaking up my code into meaningful smaller functions, a lot of my code was just munging data from one structure to another to satisfy some API input/output, or to make some kind of querying easier. that may have been specific to blockchain stuff though since it was really particular about data structures

     @sun @matrix @lain tests are for stopping your developers from clobbering each other so hard nobody knows whose code broke the build

     @sun @matrix it's because you didn't write tests :p

     @lain @matrix you have to know what you're doing to write tests first

     @lain @matrix you can get me to write tests but you will never make me stop wanting static type checking

     @lain @matrix I'll write tests for my python code because python is shit and I need tests to survive
