I usually try to write some unit tests to confirm my theories about a particular chunk of functionality or component.
If the project doesn't have previous unit tests, what always almost happen, is that the architecture and dependencies will not allow you to write the tests, but I learn a lot trying to do it.

Yea I thought of going that route but things are moving so fast I barely have the time to implement unit tests. Hopefully when there’s more down time. But still good stuff, thanks!
