That means writing a test should be easy and running it should be fast (including any compilation steps). As soon as something takes more than 30 seconds, you've lost a lot of people. They've switched tabs. They're on HN or reddit or they've pulled out their phone.
ADHD can make this worse since a time delay means getting distracted for much longer.
I have been working on testing a single issue for months. I wrote the fix the first day, but because it can only be tested in the remote development environment. An environment that I have zero insight into how it works and also requires coordinator cross-team members to work together for several hours together to test the fix! ...Because if we need to make a change pushing takes twenty minutes to test and build the new environment.
