I hope no one would ever hear me saying that they were. I try to spend
less time worrying about whether I fit global definitions of "bad" or
"worthless", and more time trying to get better. I think:
1) There are people who would have more fun and write better software if
they did more developer testing. Encouraging everyone to try it is a
good thing. I like a Martin Fowler quote: "Often when you come across
something new it can be a good idea to overuse it in order to find out
it's boundaries. This is a quite reasonable learning strategy."
2) There are people who would have more fun and write better software if
they did less developer testing. Most of these people, I'll guess, have
developer testing forced on them from above. However, if there are
people on the list who used to be happy, gung-ho developer testers, and
now have seen that they were wrong, I'd love to hear their stories.
