The engineer, who posted anonymously on X under the username voxium for fear of reprisal from his employer, called his new role at an undisclosed company "soul-sucking."
It’s pretty much what i do when i think i’m done. Run the test(s) for the stuff i touched, then the whole suite to make sure nothing else broke. Why would i take all that time to run the whole suite every time?
Obviously when I work I don’t run the entire suite, that’d be a waste of time. When I’m finished, I run the entire suite, I don’t sit and run the tests I’ve been testing against as I’m working because I already expect those to pass.
If they don’t, that’s caught when I run the entire suite. I don’t sit and run individual tests followed by the entire suite.
