Would you write more SwiftUI tests if they didn't break every time the UI changed? https://qualitycoding.org/find-swiftui-views-unit-tests/

tbh i've seen some people use AI to write unit tests and it's very much a "dude what the hell are you doing" thing

i liked small tests that made sure you didn't change something inadvertently, especially APIs.
otherwise hated unit tests. most are (unfortunately) written by the coder, so you get the condition of “works as coded” unless someone carefully checks for actual desired outcome.

No matter how many times I tell it not to add unit tests it finds a way to include one 😂
(I have a separate test suite to run against so unit tests aren't super valuable)

idk when an artist tells you ai code doesn't matter a few weeks after losing a job where you were called "hysterical" for pointing out how many unit tests failed after ai code was introduced

my two favorite instructions in my AGENTS.md #1 write the unit tests before you touch the code #2 run mutation testing to check that those tests actually catch bugs

Wait, does this mean we need to define CI, unit tests, and mutations for each possible joke

should we write unit tests for boundary values and off by one?
nah, i tried it with my password, and it worked fine

A failure isn’t required first and there’s no memory shenanigans, this is purely a logic bug. It was actually caught by AI agents doing what was essentially ~17,600 unit tests.
