I still favor integration tests over micro tests. Yes, they’re harder to write. But I care that the system produces the desired result more than I care that this little piece over here happens to do some little thing, “X”, exactly as I expect. Sure; if it didn’t do “X”, the end result would be bad. But I really care more about the end result than “X”.

Mark… Hehehehehe, don’t you worry, that was one not-entirely-suck e-mail out of the *hundreds* I must have sent to the list over the years. The overwhelming majority of those are ones that make me look not only like a dope, but like a *mean-spirited* dope. — GeePaw

I wish my past self had written useful things like that so that someone could bring them to my attention now.

But my past self was a dope.
