“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune

I had the same experience as the OP with low/no engagement to when I did engage I was branded "troll." That with my effort to decentralize my life, I don't think I will be back on that platform.

The purpose of testing, is to tell you when stuff is broken. Passing tests is easy, and possibly pointless. A failing test is much more interesting.

Just switched to bitwarden over lastpass. Sad they've decided to make free tier plans garb. 🗑️ Already enjoying all that bitwarden has to offer on the free plan too. Check this out if you're looking to switch: https://www.theverge.com/22295354/lastpass-export-delete-bitwarden-1password-zoho

A well written integration test is worth 100's of unit tests. TDD with integration tests is my favorite way to refactor large amounts of legacy code. 😎
