> YOLO? Bun has an extensive test suite and this implementation passed the test suite.
I'm sure macOS has an extensive test suite that Apple runs as well, and yet still people suggest waiting a bit before adopting a new macOS release.
An extensive test suite can prove that you have regressions when you change the code, by showing you one or more newly-failing tests. However, it cannot prove that you don't have any regressions; it can only increase your confidence somewhat.
My argument wasn't that the test suite was perfect, my argument was that this is far from "YOLO" - this is a textbook example of being able to do bigger refactors, etc when you have an extensive test suite.
