alt Hacker NewsI wouldn’t admit to this level of frankly incompetence.
Wildly swinging dogmatism on how to do software development that’s so wrong you have to throw it all away - then repeating this failure loop multiple times.
Doesn’t inspire any confidence in the person I wouldn’t get them to lead a project.
Why would you be so loud and proud about all this.

Same. Admitting to it is one thing, but still it takes a certain kind of attitude to outright forbid people to write tests.

I think there's a real possibility this is a "no such thing as bad publicity" stunt.
"bugs were appearing everywhere out of the blue. The codebase was a huge mess of nulls, undefined behaviour, bad error handling. It was so bad that we actually lost a client over this."
Especially wild considering their product is literally an automated bug finder lol.
