As a #StaffEngineer, part of your role is going to be helping maintain your #TestSuite. Two questions for you: 1) If your test suite is green, can you push to prod RIGHT NOW with a high degree of confidence that nothing will explode? 2) If your test suite is red after running your e2e tests ONLY ONCE APIECE, do you have a high degree of certainty that something is actually wrong? If your answer to either of these questions is anything but an immediate "yes," your test suite isn't doing its job! Wanna hear more? Of course you do! Come hear me speak on maintaining a solid test suite on May 14 in Raleigh!

8moContext is key here. If the tests are not actively maintained, it is really hard to have that high degree of confidence if they are all green or even if some are red. I am curious about this "once a piece" part...
