After sending [yesterday's email][yesterday], Dave Hall replied [with a LinkedIn comment][comment] I liked and wanted to share (done with permission):
> In theory I can drive my car on the motorway, blind folded while not wearing a seat belt. It sounds really exciting and loads of fun. When something goes wrong it gets really messy.
>
> I tend to think of skipping automated tests in the same way.
