I have a technique I call incompetence-based-mutation-testing.
Start making some changes. Bork everything, comment out half the existing code to just make stuff compile. Run tests. Watch tests pass.
Stop refactoring, go have a stern word with the tests.

Don't forget that @eightkb.online is happening.
Don't miss it!
If you miss it, there should be vods.
If you miss the vods, I dunno really, they're not taken down, watch them instead of staring off into despair while looking at your to-do list...
Also, don't put "watch the vods" on your to-do list!
