I'm so heartbroken by the idea of unit tests. My first job was at a home automation startup and our primary product was a device that we would send ota firmware updates to. The device was based on an esp32, and because it received software updates from the app it had to be 100% robust and had full test coverage and the mono repo that would compile the firmware was gorgeous.
I'm a web developer and I've been wanting to replicate that exact experience ever since but I just can't get any team on board. It's gone to the point where if the llm writes a unit test I'll just commit it so I don't care.
