Write More Tests, the Pain Is Worth It (opens in new tab)

A couple of months ago, I started building the backend for a personal project. Then life happened, got busy in work, other stuff took priority, and the project went on pause. At that time, I skipped TDD because I wanted to move fast. I told myself, “I’ll add tests later.” Classic. Fast forward to a few days ago, I finally decided to pick it back up. But when I opened the code, I couldn’t make sense of it.
