Sometimes people say to me "unit testing!". And I say "great, of course you are already using a strongly typed language that the compiler can statically check, that'll give you loads of tests for free!"
Then they stare at me blankly because they're Javascript or Ruby guys who are only playing at being serious software engineers.
I predate the popularity of unit testing, so I've developed some pretty good skills understanding the problem domain and carefully coding for it. So yeah when I did get my code to finally compile in Modula-2, it usually worked pretty damn well.
