If the tests pass, then everything is fine… Unless we expected the tests not to pass…then it’s time to burn the codebase down and try again after a long vacation to clear our heads.

Work smarter not harder
Delete all the tests!
My tests always pass! They’ve never failed, that’s how good a programmer I am!
You deleted the failing test, didn’t you
