Tom from Codecov here. This is so true, 80% is usually a much more reasonable approach. It’s better to write good tests than all the tests.

I really liked the blogpost! We're hoping to change point 2 (Engineering Time is Finite) with Sweep, so hopefully we don't have to make a tradeoff between a high quantity/quality of tests.
