How is this sustainable?

Write fewer tests and change quickly.

Sold.

Write end-to-end tests that test behavior instead of implementation.
I think it's time to start testing tests. The first test will be metrics how often tests are changed when the things they test are changed. If it's close at all to 1 to 1 then the test fails.
It is only sustainable for large businesses, which increasingly are the only businesses.
