  Taking out a competitor is good for Slack, said Butterfield: “There’s fewer choices for people.”

What a statement! This is why I dislike Slack as a company and as much as I hate Teams (have to use it at work), I have no problem with it if the choice is Slack or Teams.

Somewhat interesting but calling an old idea something catchy isn't really revolutionary.

The article makes a lot of assumptions like "In practice, most agree as most projects set the lower bound for coverage to around 80%". Most projects where, which industry, who are these 80% that agree? This is just taken out of thin air in this case. It might be true but should we take the author's word for it?

  There are also some psychological arguments. For 
  example, if you value unit-testability, you would prefer 
  a program design that is easier to test than a design 
  that is harder to test but is otherwise better, because 
  you know that you’ll spend a lot more time writing tests.

This is very subjective without examples. The opposite argument can also be made that code which is easier to test is sometimes better. It felt like reading a collection of quotes and articles by other people.

I think TDD, unit, integration and E2E testing works. How much of which to apply is entirely project and industry specific and it's up to teams to decide what testing strategy works best for them.

I completely agree and I think that if you take care of the people they will take care of each other (team). So when you've built a well oiled team that trusts each other the company benefits as well as they will be more productive and play well with each other.

I also am not an engineering manager.

I've been wondering about that for a while.

So far, I've not been able to find any examples of test architecture that follows those principles online or in my day job.

I've also been too lazy to do a side project and explore a more decoupled and scalable test suite. Maybe I should get off my arse and finally do it.

I've seen this happen in a previous job. It literally made all the top performers in the team leave.

Get off your high horse for few minutes.

High quality restaurants? Around Edinburgh the 'highest quality' restaurant offered is Pizza Express.

Got rid of it about 6-7 years ago, mainly due to all the annoying people posting photos of their food and pointless updates and check-ins. Who needs that.. I don't miss it one bit nor do I plan on using it ever again.
