> It sounds like you don't think much of testing, if you're expecting tests to be handed to you

Should have been clearer They should have tests to cover their code (not the code I'm going to right).. This cuts down on me adding testing libs needed, any setup, and laying down a pattern for their expectations(wrt tests). With expectation dev would add tests to cover their code.

On the job, I have easy access to the information/easy access to the people with the information. Not to mention personal relationships with the people I need to query.

My usage of 'inane' refers to things that a dev on the job won't be doing 99.9% of the time. Things that take effort & thought to setup(initial project setup) but don't really give any insight into whether a dev can write & architect code well. All the things a company already has in place.
