I wanted to show that writing tests is all about a way of thinking and that it helps you navigate the problem. I like the idea around mocking/not mocking as have fallen to that trap too before where mocked out things to the point - so if will find more time for writing may write some more stuff around testing :)
I had to recently try and explain how testing works and realised that we are too used to tooling and in reality all it is just a function that makes sure that result matches the expectation. The frameworks are out there to make a lot of things easier but the basics are still the same.
And as you said - I think once it clicks and you see the benefit of it you just don't want to go back to not doing it :)
As someone on LinkedIn said: "I never understood why someone wouldn't write lots of tests! What kind of person doesn't like to consistently prove themselves right?"

Thanks Lou!
