I often catch myself doing it as well... but I think it also stems from us not wanting to fully take responsibility or have them come back twice as hard if it doesn't work. It's like a bad garauntee... It will probably work, just don't come back crying if it doesn't...

It’s like a bad garauntee… It will probably work, just don’t come back crying if it doesn’t…

I once worked on a project wherein the project manager actively discouraged writing tests of any sort. End to end tests, verifying all the options, given half a day to fix a bug.... that line is the only thing you keep saying all day. Just painful. My advice -- find another job/project and test, test, test! Its not a panacea, but it definitely gives you more confidence. Without tests?!
