So now your test suite takes 15 minutes to run instead of 15 seconds. Sure, that doesn’t matter at all.

Test what? you don't work in consulting, right? The only way some consultancy firms have to earn the contract each year is: - Give crappy hardware to devs, so they can bill more hours. - Skip testing because if the customer wants to fix those bugs with anoter company, they will ask for an audit fee beforehand.

We’ve just moved from amazon to consulting firms?
