Thank you for the kind words!

Daniel has a few gems in this blog post and we tried to italicize some of them. My favorite one is around "There is no code without a theory of testing."

"If you have 100% branch coverage, it doesn't mean you've covered all the cases. But it does mean that, whenever an obscure fault is understood in production, or even merely observed in development, there is an incremental path to add it to the base of knowledge in the tests: there are no spans of code with no test model."

Also not surprised to find out that Ozgun from Citus is behind these strong principles! :)

Yea I mean that can basically be assessed as a paradox: how can you possibly write a line of code that you don’t know how to validate its correctness!?
