We're all familiar with this scene: the good guys trying to save the day (or the world) by defusing a bomb. Quickly running out of time, they have to cut a wire. Failure is not an option. The red bar won't turn into a green bar.What if you had to write code that works the very first time? What if you had no chance to test your code, let alone fixing bugs? You got only one chance to run your code and save the world. Would that change the way you write? The way you think? How? What can you learn from that?
Lest you think I'm kinda crazy: I'm not actually suggesting that you shouldn't test your code. I'm not actually suggesting that you stop doing your test-driven thing (if you do) or that you forget your test plan (if you have one), etc etc.
Consider this like a stretching exercise. We may learn something useful just by going outside our comfort zone. Give it a try.
