No, as I've pointed out - even in your trivial example you're not testing for all correct behaviour. What's the correct behaviour when the function is called with invalid argument …

K, I'll take your word for it.

Think about that for another second and see if you can spot the obvious huge flaw there.

Nobody made the argument that static typing removes the need for unit tests. It does check for many conditions that would have to be unit tested otherwise, such as calling function…

How are the interfaces between these microservices defined? Without types? Lol

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Sure, in this trivial example there may not be clear benefit, but with more complicated code, operations on complicated structures, with potential state changes, etc. there are man…

You're not going to cover all of the correct behavior in any nontrivial software with unit tests unless you plan to spend 99% of your time writing unit tests. Static typing gives a…

'Buidling things with code' is not just coding. It can include design, architecture, collaboration, planning etc. There are many high quality, highly complex, open source projects …

Everytime I bypass some stupid process or break glass, I now just put 'bias for action' as the reason. Ahahaha I don't give a shit anymore.

Interesting, I was told the opposite by my managers...

Yup, and the other flipside is devs being extremely nitpicky and regurgitating irrelevant Amazon principles BS in code reviews because they're trying to get promoted.
