I like tests. I think they are necessary to get the feedback I need in order to feel confident about what I have made.

I have a strong set of views when it comes to how to work with computers. I try not to impose my way onto others and I can recognize many circumstances where my way of doing things would definitely not be optimal, but when I see how much time is spent in the long run fiddling with badly integrated tools that produce all kinds of headaches down the way I do start to wonder why others don't do it my way.
