People prefer friendliness, trustworthiness in teammates over skill competency

I think trustworthiness can also apply to the code itself.

There are so many times where I have thought, "I better add this test here, even though I know I will probably only be the person who knows there needs to be a test here."

And I add the test, as I like to think I can be trusted to do the right thing, even though nobody will in all likelihood see it.

If a tree can fall in a forest, better test it, just in case!

Or the tree falling in a forest test for short
