Brief

The post highlights Aaron Stannard’s observation (2026-07-21) that manufacturing-focused dev teams maintain strong test coverage by creating simulators for devices that are hard to attach in local environments. The practice enables robust automated testing and is described by the poster as both technically impressive and inspiring to watch.

Why it matters

Aaron Stannard (Twitter handle @Aaronontheweb) reports that test coverage is consistently great among developers working in manufacturing (post dated 2026-07-21).

Key details

  • Those developers build simulators for hardware that can't be easily connected during local development, enabling strong automated testing.
  • The author (@andreabalducci) finds this engineering practice “very fun and inspiring” to observe.
