> Have you ever worked at a place where you were put on an existing codebase, and that code has no tests?

Yes.

Then I added tests. Now the codebase has tests.

Funny how that works.

> Have you ever worked at a place where, when you try to fix that, management tells you that they don't have the time to do so, they have to crank out new features?

Yes.

I then added tests that covered my features. Now the project has tests.

Funny how that works.
