Coding by the Beach

One mistake that I keep encountering over the years in my profession is the underestimation of work required for a work item (which can be a feature, a user story, a bug fix, defect fix, or whatever name you can put).

Any programming work item can be coded fairly quickly, but to know whether it is correct, one MUST test it (and this is not a tester’s job). I regard committing an untested code is a serious crime in the software engineering world. Yet I see it happen way too often.

If you are one of those people, please stop doing it. You are making your teammates sleep less, and you are ultimately responsible for making the world a worse place to live in. Test your code, man.
