UNIT TESTING IS CULTURE!

By Guillermo Espínola • April 11, 2025
Unit testing is a culture because it reflects the collective values, practices, and priorities of a team — not just an individual’s technical choice. 1. It’s about habits, not just code Writing unit tests becomes second nature in teams that embrace it — like brushing your teeth or writing commit messages. It’s not something you have to do; it’s something you do by default. That habitual behavior across a team is what forms a culture.  2. Shared responsibility for quality In testing cultures, quality isn’t just the QA team’s job. Everyone, from junior devs to tech leads, owns the stability of the codebase. Unit tests are the first line of defense and writing them shows you care about how your work impacts others. 3. Thinking before building Unit testing encourages thinking about design . If something is hard to test, it’s often a sign of a design problem. Testing culture naturally leads to cleaner, modular, and more understandable code. 4. Scaffolding for long-term growth As projects grow, untested code turns into a minefield. But a culture of testing creates a safety net — it gives confidence to refactor, ship faster, and onboard new team members without breaking everything. 5. A sign of professionalism Testing culture shows maturity in a team. It signals that a team values long-term sustainability over quick hacks. And that message is reflected in hiring, onboarding, processes, and even how code reviews are done.

Code Review Is Culture — Not Just a Process

By Guillermo Espínola • April 11, 2025
1. It’s about communication, not control In a healthy code review culture: People ask questions like “why did you take this approach?” They leave comments that teach, not shame Devs respond with openness, not defensiveness That’s emotional safety. That’s team maturity. That’s culture . 2. It drives consistency and shared standards In teams with strong code review culture: People nudge each other toward better naming, patterns, or clarity Best practices spread through the codebase naturally Silos break — because everyone sees what others are working on 3. It shows up in how people give and receive feedback Culture = how we treat each other when we disagree. If code reviews are: Thoughtful, respectful, and constructive → 🚀 strong culture Nitpicky, aggressive, or nonexistent → 😬 weak or toxic culture TL;DR Code review is culture because it’s a daily ritual where your team shows what it truly values — quality, learning, and working together — not what a methodology prescribes.

CD/CI IS CULTURE

By Guillermo Espínola • April 11, 2025
CI/CD (Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery/Deployment) isn't only about Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or pipelines — it's a way of thinking and working as a team. A company with CI/CD mindset says: We value quick feedback. We care about reliable deployments. We want to ship confidently and often. 1. It changes how people behave In a CI/CD culture: Devs commit small, testable chunks of code regularly. Teams write automation scripts instead of relying on manual deploys. Bugs are seen early — in minutes, not in production. That behavioral shift only sticks when it’s supported by team norms, not by automation tools or hierarchical decisions. 2. It demands collaboration CI/CD blurs the lines between devs, QA, and ops: Developers write tests and monitor deploys. Ops folks help define infrastructure as code. Everyone watches the pipeline like it's a team heartbeat.  It’s DevOps in action — and that’s all about shared culture, not job titles. 3. It rewards consistency over heroics In a CI/CD culture, success isn’t a Friday night hotfix. It’s boring, repeatable, and stable deploys during work hours. The team gets dopamine from green builds, not firefighting. 4. It evolves with the team CI/CD culture isn’t static. Teams continuously improve pipelines, monitor failures, tweak rollout strategies, and review deployment metrics. That commitment to continuous improvement is cultural.

Refactoring Is Culture

By Guillermo Espínola • April 11, 2025
First, what is refactoring? Refactoring is the ongoing process of improving the internal structure of code without changing its external behavior. It’s not a one-time event. It’s a mindset: As Many always says in Xipe "Let’s leave the code a little better than we found it." 1. It’s about how a team thinks long-term In a team with a refactoring culture: Devs don’t just add code — they actively improve what’s there. Cleanliness is not optional — it’s a shared responsibility. Tech debt isn’t ignored; it’s tracked, discussed, and reduced continuously. That’s not a coding practice. That’s a cultural norm .  2. It becomes part of the daily workflow In refactoring cultures: Code reviews highlight messy abstractions or duplication, not just broken tests. Devs refactor as they go — not "later someday maybe." It’s OK to slow down a bit to clean things up. The culture says: quality now prevents chaos later . 3. It reflects pride, professionalism, and care You can tell a lot about a team by how much they respect their codebase. Refactoring culture says: “We’re not here to ship garbage fast. We’re here to ship value, and that means caring about maintainability.” If you don’t refactor often your code will become a Dragon charging interest to your tech debt, and your team will stop caring, stop trying, and “good enough” becomes the standard.
