On: Ask HN: Well architected React and Node repos?

I don’t like seeing test files close to the code. It’s clutter and distracting. Some people do and that’s fair, but there’s no one way.

when i was working on java microservices a few years back at a major cruise line, the tests were of course in a completely separate folder structure. it would take ages to traverse the file tree. isn't that a major waste of time and really poor devex?

Your IDE should handle this kind of drudgery for you. The tests folder layout needn't be complex and deep either.

what about those of us who still prefer to use terminals, not just point and click GUIs?

relying on ever-more tooling feels too much like putting a band-aid over the problem to me.
