This is worrying to hear. The company I work for has the self-hosted version which performs very slowly and seems to be gradually getting worse.

We are apparently moving to the cloud version soon, and it’s being sold to the users as the saviour for all the performance issues we’re encountering.

Is this really that common? Maybe I'm out of touch, but I find it hard to imagine much code that just strings calls to dependencies together and has none of its own behaviour. Surely decisions are being made based on the dependencies behaviour? Isn't that worth unit testing?

I was going to write almost this same comment.

It felt like the author wanted to test all of their dependencies in their unit tests, like that was the part of the system they didn’t trust. They don’t seem to value testing that their code functions as intended given expected behaviour of the dependencies.

Is this a saying in German? I’ve definitely heard this in the UK in English before, referring to machines/electronics dying.
