zX41ZdbW> Two problematic statements in this article: 1. Test pass rate is 99.98% is not good - the only acceptable rate is 100%. 2. Tests should not be quarantined or disabled. Every flaky test deserves attention. > lab14 a test pass rate of 100% is a fairy tale. maybe achievable on toy or dormant projects, but real world applications that make money are a bit more messy than that.

“But the company—” Will you shut up. Companies value velocity and new launches and shipping first at all costs because of course they do; it’s table stakes. Speed of delivery is basically the number one corporate value of every organization whether they admit to it or not. They’ll say they value experimentation, but not as much as shipping. Or they’ll claim to be really into investing in people and fostering growth, but not to the extent that it should let the schedule slip. Maybe they’ll say something about embracing failure, unless it’s a failure to get the app redesign in users’ hands before the end of the fiscal quarter. Some places really, really mean it when they say “ship or GTFO,” and those organizations have a tendency to grind employees into dust and then burn the dust for fuel. But going purely on outcomes, it sure seems like most places don’t actually value velocity as much as they claim to, just like all the other corporate values that pad out their Careers page.
