Maybe something over-pretentious like: If it's not automatically tested, it's broken. Or: Tests lie; and you need them. Or: Achieve reproducibility and eliminate quality variance with tests. On Friday, September 8, 2017, Sven R. Kunze <srkunze@mail.de> wrote:

I like this one: "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships." (Linus Torvalds) Regards, Thomas Güttler -- Thomas Guettler http://www.thomas-guettler.de/ I am looking for feedback: https://github.com/guettli/programming-guidelines
