Curious how bad they’d have to be to land you at that position.
If they’re hard to write, it’s kinda a red flag about the overall code itself. Forcing people to write them tends to force people to use better patterns just so the associated tests aren’t a bitch.
And they pin behavior more than strict correctness, in my experience, but that’s a valuable signal. Canaries in the mine.
You can be much more bold when you’ve got strong coverage.
So I do admit some of the benefits might feel intangible… But boy howdy you’ll miss them if you move to a shop that never bothered. You’ll see the dumbest fucking patterns and be kinda handcuffed to do anything good.
