Where is cricket played the most in the world?[^]
Quote: South Africa: As of this year, cricket is the second most popular sport among adults in South Africa after soccer, having moved up from third position ahead of rugby. The sport has undergone a tremendous growth and over two million South Africans now express interest in cricket. Famous South African cricketers include AB de Villiers, Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock and Jacques Kallis.

Oh Crickets! Another language to learn and to argue with management as to why it shouldn't be used!
Which just goes to prove that you don't need to understand something to tell management "NO!"

Average teams aim at 100% Code Coverage just to reach the number. Great teams don’t. Why? Uncovering the answer

Because it's kinda silly to test getters and setters and such?

Code coverage is like trying to get to the speed of light. The more code coverage you have, the more massive your code. At some point, the energy required to go the next 0.00001% of coverage becomes impossible because the mass of code is so close to infinite. 
Not to mention the whole time dilation effect, where your tests are obsoleting faster and faster as other coders make changes. Something like that.

OK, I get your point.
But then, testing shouldn't go by the code lines, but what those code lines do. There should be no reason to change/update a test because the code is changed - only when what the code is supposed to do changes.
Tests should be developed and implemented by people who know nothing of the code. They should make tests for all the functionality, regardless of the lines of code to implement it. If some code is not run during a complete test, it either indicates that the code is dead and can be removed, or that there is some functionality that the test developers never were told about. Maybe the developer didn't tell anybody about this functionality - which is really bad. Secret, undocumented, untested functionality is bad for any software.
So don't strive for 100% code coverage. Strive for 100% functionality coverage. If that doesn't lead to 100% code coverage, you should take a close look at the code and ask: What the elephant is that code there for?

Because tests are only as good as the code they test?
ok, while that sounds wise for about 2 seconds, it doesn't even make sense to me.
I think I replied to the wrong post, but the two seem related.

But that is waterfall thinking. We all know that is bad and leads to all sorts of failures. Successful projects are agile, they start with
int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
return 0;
}After that, we start making questions about the the problem to be solved, and work that into our solution as we go. Any sort of planning reduces flexibility and must be avoided

COPA took Wright to court to try and prevent him from suing developers and other members of the crypto community, claiming intellectual property rights over Bitcoin's technology. This is why you sign your code
Or at the very least keep a dated copy of the backup. Maybe put it on the friggin' bitcoin blockchain if you want to be like that.
