Scene: tech meeting, devs around a conference table, one guy on a sofa in the back, possibly sleeping.
Senior dev to junior dev: So I told you to add 3 commandline arguments to the application. How did that go?
Junior dev whipping out their notebook: Yes! So, I created three new modules!
Surprised faces all around the table. Guy in the back on the sofa removes his headphones.
Senior dev: …ok?
Junior: YES! One module is sorting algorithms, some stable some not, I’ll leave it to you to decide which to use!
Narrator: no tests
Junior: then I made a module for string processing algorithms! I made a bit more than I think we need, but I felt it should be complete!
Narrator: no tests
Junior: and finally I made a finite state machine library so that you can test if the combination of arguments is valid
Narrator: absolutely zero tests
Junior beaming 😃
Senior: … ok so we’re not doing that.
Other juniors around the table silently in their heads: he’s just jealous because he couldn’t make anything so fantastic!
Guy in the sofa silently checks in importing a command-line arg library, sets up the three arguments and writes 9 tests. Then puts the headphones back on with the music from Zelda.
