Testing Is More Than Preventing Breakage If you think about tests as the last thing you do you're missing out on some of the biggest benefits of testing. You can learn a lot about what your code SHOULD do by thinking about your tests first.

Friendgineers: Are you getting all of the value you can from your tests? You can probably get more than you are. Correctness is only the tip of the iceberg.

Who Do You Love? When you love the right thing you know what to do and how to move forward. When you focus on the wrong thing then the path forward isn't nearly as clear.

Friendgineers: What do you love? Strange question for a software engineer, but surprisingly relevant. Loving the right thing helps you move forwards, but loving the wrong thing will hold you back.

Licensed Engineers It is possible to be a licenses software engineer, but almost noone has bothered. License or not, it's still Engineering

Friendgineers: You can be a professional engineer. Even software people can become PEs (in Texas). But most engineers, software or other fields, don't. That's OK, and that doesn't define if you're an engineer or not.
