@EmmaBostian I think they become more valuable in large projects. For people trying to break into the industry, it is tempting to take the path of least resistance and skip testing in order to build a portfolio faster. It seems reasonable to learn testing when it becomes necessary.

@AlyssaM_InfoSec 3 = 3 ... The rest of those statements are absurd.
