Write tests not because you don’t trust your code — but because you do.
Testing isn’t a chore.
It’s a sign of care and confidence.
Catch bugs before users do Document expected behavior Refactor without fear Build with peace of mind
Good tests make great code sustainable.

Product vs Tech: The Endless Battlefield
The war between Product & Engineering? It's not inevitable. It's a choice. A choice to overload engineers with business problems instead of letting them solve technical ones. A choice to force cross-functional teams without aligning timelines.
And the result?
Slow product development Fragile systems Burnt-out engineers Sky-high costs
We tell engineers to "understand the business".
But we never ask business to "understand engineering".
We train engineers to sell priorities instead of owning their craft.
Software development becomes a negotiation instead of an engineering discipline.
And then we wonder why systems rot. 
"You Build It, You Run It".
"You Code It, You Ship It".
Buzzwords that actually mean:
"You Do Everything, We Cut Costs."
Would you hire an musician to cook, clean, and build your house?
No? Then why expect engineers to be full-stack, infra experts, DevOps, security pros & business strategists simultaneously?
Specialization isn't old-fashioned. It's necessary. Engineering, UI/UX, Infrastructure. They are services to each other. Stop mixing worlds. Let experts master their craft.
Hiring isn't broken because of a "talent shortage".
It's broken because of delusional expectations.
You want quality products?
Let engineers engineer. Let designers design. Let infrastructure teams handle infra.
If people aren't drowning in work that isn't theirs, they will naturally grow beyond their roles.
But force it?
You'll get: Burnouts Legacy code A team that stops caring
I grew up in tech step by step. The enforcement to do everything at once blocked & blinded me for years.
Fix the environment or enjoy the chaos you created. Your choice. 
"Software quality is more the result of a system designed to produce quality, and not so much the result of individual performance."

Sonos is one company I really hope can turn things around and survive the corporate self-harm, "efficiency" measures, and enshittification path that their investors, board, and executives have pushed them toward.

How can one express to a would-be-training-client that the code examples they are providing as "good" still makes one very sad?
Here is a teaser for my talk about software quality that I gave at NewCrafts Conferences in Paris.
Boost Your Software Quality with Advanced Unit Testing!
Unit testing catches bugs early, aids in refactoring, and provides clear documentation. Dive into advanced strategies like dependency injection, deterministic testing, and parallel execution. Learn practical tips for effective testing and integrating into TDD and CI workflows. Tools like JUnit, pytest, and NUnit can enhance your testing suite. Read more: https://t.ly/LOVfc

"Tandem Diabetes Care has issued a recall for version 2.7 of the iOS t:connect mobile app, which is used in conjunction with the company’s t:slim X2 insulin pump. Specifically, the recall relates to a software issue that can cause the app to repeatedly crash and relaunch, resulting in the pump’s battery being drained by excessive Bluetooth communication." #SoftwareQuality
