The engineer, who posted anonymously on X under the username voxium for fear of reprisal from his employer, called his new role at an undisclosed company "soul-sucking."
It’s pretty much what i do when i think i’m done. Run the test(s) for the stuff i touched, then the whole suite to make sure nothing else broke. Why would i take all that time to run the whole suite every time?
Obviously when I work I don’t run the entire suite, that’d be a waste of time. When I’m finished, I run the entire suite, I don’t sit and run the tests I’ve been testing against as I’m working because I already expect those to pass.
If they don’t, that’s caught when I run the entire suite. I don’t sit and run individual tests followed by the entire suite.
Possibly motivated to do more complex problems to spend more tokens?
I can believe this. I’ve been put on slop duty, and had the slopmachine go all
And I’m here thinking, if you’re gonna run the whole suite anyway, why’d you run an individual test? That’s just redundant.
