> helps in identifying a sane API

I totally forgot about this, but I agree 100%. I'm a big fan of "Write this as though the underlying code exists, then fill it out" for API design.

I don't write as many tests as you'd think I do, actually, because I heavily favor integration tests over unit-style tests, and so we're probably much closer in that regard than you think. ;)
