elvispt··on Thoughts on Testing
The value of testing comes from not when its created, but months/years down the line where a new feature/bugfix changes something completely unrelated to the initial feature.

Sometimes almost or even completely useless tests are written. Its a cost I can live with.

elvispt··on Ask HN: Why isn't the GitHub attack being covered by the news?
I had issues pushing with an application key that was not being recognized.

Now I don't know if this was directly related, but the timing raises an eyebrow.
