Big fan of nextest and this is my first time seeing this site. I'll be real I feel a bit ridiculous commenting this but you might want to consider rephrasing this:

>Treat tests as cattle, not pets. Detect and terminate slow tests.

Not sure saying, "hey, treat your tests as an animal you can kill at will" paints the right image.

This is from the Kubernetes saying of "treat servers like cattle, not pets". Of course, some people like me keep cattle as pets, but then again I also name my servers, even the virtual or containerised ones.

It’s a horrible saying in that context also.

Yeah that was indeed the inspiration (though I'm pretty sure it predates Kubernetes!) but the juxtaposition with "terminate" is unfortunate.

I liked the way it was phrased. You can't make everybody happy. :)

That's fair! I'll find a way to rephrase it.

edit: Updated to "Detect and handle slow tests". Thanks again!
