I've been working on react and react native applications professionally for over ten years, and I have never worked on a project with any kind of meaningful test coverage

I have not seen tests in any code base I worked on in the past 20 years. I have noticed that there is some kind of sanctimonious demeanor to quite a few people that advocate for tests (on comment boards). I find the reactions to discussions on tests fascinating because it seems to elicit very strong opinions, sort of a "do you put your shopping cart back" kind of topic, but for programmers.

That says more about you and the care you put into quality assurance than anything else, really.

		Presumably you mean me, and every current and former team-member I've ever had? If so, you're talking about hundreds of engineers.

		Have you ever worked at a place where you were put on an existing codebase, and that code has no tests? Have you ever worked at a place where, when you try to fix that, management tells you that they don't have the time to do so, they have to crank out new features? Is ipsento606 working at such a place? I don't know, and neither do you. Why do you jump to the conclusion that it's their personal failing?
