I can drive my car blindfolded, but is it a good idea?
After sending yesterday's email, Dave Hall replied with a LinkedIn comment I liked and wanted to share (done with permission):
In theory I can drive my car on the motorway, blind folded while not wearing a seat belt. It sounds really exciting and loads of fun. When something goes wrong it gets really messy.
I tend to think of skipping automated tests in the same way.
Just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should.
