| The usefulness is in saving time boilerplating, plus figuring out tests I may not have thought of. But I do closely review the code! It turns the usual drudge of writing tests into more of a code review. Last time I did it it had some mistakes I needed to fix for sure. |

| There shouldn't be boilerplate in test code. It should be refactored into harnesses, utils, and fixtures instead. |
