I have heard a story about developer who deleted all the code in the company that was not covered with tests.

Everything stopped working. His changes were reverted back.

But within a month all code base was covered with tests.

I don't see how one leads to the other. The only outcome of this should be immediate termination.

Everything did, indeed, terminate.
