Code coverage is often the go-to metric for code quality, but is arbitrarily aiming for 80% code coverage actually hurting your code? Contributor Jared Toporek challenges how we're measuring code quality, and suggests developers should instead focus on the most important parts of their code base to gain a deeper understanding of what does and doesn't actually work. https://lnkd.in/e4aV2DKp
