       | but things break because the data quality of connected systems is
       | so poor. I always think, you could make most of these problems
       | visible and communicate them to other teams in advance with just
       | sending masses of data sets through the system using automated
       | integration tests. But instead, we spend our time writing unit
       | tests on our poor assumptions and fighting the mess in
       | production.
