Integration tests are a symptom of poor design

That's an interesting choice of analogy given that boxes of Q-Tips warn you to never try cleaning your ears with a Q-Tip and so do most professionals: http://time.com/4290668/q-tip-ear-wax-removal/

Current professional wisdom is that you shouldn't even bother cleaning your ears because wax buildup is healthier and the body's own wax removal process is good enough.

Yeah, but it's so satisfying to see what you've produced.

It really isn't, though. If I go more than a few days without cleaning my ears they get really crusty and it gets harder to hear.

Fascinatingly, you are probably suffering thus due to very specific genetics, not bad hygiene, personal variation in earwax, or an inherent quality of earwax: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earwax#Physiology

I always assumed that warning was just J&J covering their ass.
