No documentation might only create problems in the long-term but no
unit tests...
Manager:
"Just focus on the code. just implement that feature as fast as
possible, we need it yesterday! Implement this calculator now!"
Dev:
"OK, if you insist."
int add(int a, int b)
{
return 7;
}
int mult(int a, int b)
{
return 12;
}
"Done! I've implemented both the add and mult function. I haven't
had time to fully test it 'though."
Manager:
"That's alright. Just send it to the test department."
