Great article!

I especially prefer "WET" code in unit tests, where constantly trying to cut lines by consolidating similar tests using "helpers" can result in giant methods with many flags.

The original goal was to make maintaining the unit tests easy, but now the helpers are so complex so that adding new test paths takes hours.
