Great plug haha. Bought and almost 50% through. Loving it so far.
However I am wondering about statements like “The goal of TDD is to create a test suite that you would trust with your life.”
Is that really possible? I can only think about so many edge cases. Never all of them. If I refactor a module and see all green I might be confident in that system, but what happens if my refactoring causes an edge case to error, that used to just slip through? Won’t it re-introduce the fear of touching the old code?
