Let's face it: For many developers, writing tests is more of a chore than a joy. But what if it didn't have to be?
In this series, we dive into the common frustrations with unit testing and introduce an alternative approach we've embraced at @chrono24. We'll show you how to transform testing from a tedious task into an integral, effective part of your workflow. Our goal is to make your tests not just bearable, but genuinely beneficial.

I refuse to believe *any* engineer who has to work with date and time even tangentially would support keeping daylight savings time

I do not do Scrum, so I have no need to estimate an increment/Sprint. I just work on the most valuable single story next. I pull that story, narrow it down to a set of <= 2-day stories, pick the most valuable (of the most valuable 😄), and build that. 1/3
