Comment on Ask HN: Founders, how much automated tests do you write?

Comments

Code is a liability. Founder or not I write as few tests as I feel necessary for things I don't trust in my code.

I generally write as little code as possible overall, and try to sell it as fast as possible.

I hate source code, it never ever is the result for me. So if i do not have to write code than I get to not write tests.

My goal is always to write as little code as absolutely possible. That's it

Are you coding in bash script - just kidding

I mean how does it even works ? What if you want to build an app for a company which is wishing for digitization of their business - you need to have code - Don't you ?

Secondly how come founder are not liability - I have seen a stage in start ups when it comes to the situation where startup is either sold or purchased by other competitive business and after some months when the startup is absorbed the founders are gone or have a silent positions... Doesn't it make them liability afterwards?
