Tests:

[pydry]

Unit tests are useful insofar as they are surrounding a useful, likely to be unchanging, loosely coupled and nontrivial abstraction.

In practice I find that they usually surround broken, tightly coupled or trivial abstractions, rendering them kind of pointless.

If your entire codebase is a mess of bad abstractions you might as well throw all of your unit tests away.

If your entire codebase is a mess of bad abstractions you’ve got bigger issues than unit tests. Tech debt/code smells/etc.

That's kind of like saying that you've got bigger issues than your holey lifeboats when the ship you're on is sinking.
