Not sure why you're highlighting this in a sub-thread regarding the importance of context. Surely this was already implied?

What I'm railing against is the idea that seniority is a prime indicator to the effective strategy parent comment insists on, which simply doesn't mirror my experiences. What I see is juniors picking up the habits of their superiors. They're learning this dogmatism from somewhere.

I’m sorry I’ve apparently misunderstood your point. I guess I’ve never seen too brass imparting more than a big picture “we’re writing tests now”.

Depends on the industry and client. Some industries have a lot of consultants that don't write code but will tell you 80% is the minimum. Some contracts stipulate code coverage deliverables. Some platforms like Salesforce count lines of code covered and prevent deployments unless 75% and passing.
