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.
