This guy thinks unit testing is way overrated and a waste of time:

>From the article:
"How can I possibly ship a bug-free program and thus make enough money
to feed my tribe if I don't test my shiznit? The answer is, you can't.
You should test. Test and test and test. But I've NEVER, EVER seen a
structured test program that (a) didn't take like 100 man-hours of setup
time, (b) didn't suck down a ton of engineering resources, and (c)
actually found any particularly relevant bugs. Unit testing is a great
way to pay a bunch of engineers to be bored out of their minds and find
not much of anything. [I know -- one of my first jobs was writing unit
test code for Lighthouse Design, for the now-president of Sun
Microsystems.] You'd be MUCH, MUCH better offer hiring beta testers (or,
better yet, offering bug bounties to the general public)."
 
I'm curious what you guys think.
