Any time I make claims like this, people look at me like I'm insane. But here I am, year after year, meeting release targets with robust software while the teams that chase test coverage and other optics don't. I would assume I'm missing something if this industry hasn't give me a million reasons not to believe in the best practices typically put forward.

It really depends on the type of software. An ETL pipeline, for example, is obviously way easier to develop and maintain through tests (record real system inputs, compare with desired outputs). But that logic doesn't extend to all other types of software.
