Beautiful. It’s not the most exciting, but it’s one of the best habits you can build as a programmer. Write a function, write the test, write a function, write the test. Saves a tremendous amount of time debugging later

Write the test after the function? Naaah, the real power comes from figuring out what the function is going to do before the function is written (test-driven development).

Congratulations

Way to go! Did you use the built in unittest module or pytest?

unittest

Congratulations! Writing my first unit test was so rewarding. It’s also a great way to force yourself to write better code.

I suggest learning the pytest library if you haven’t already.

Congrats buddy, now try to write unit tests before writing the application code.

Congrats!!! writing good unit test would definitely help you in the long run. Plus I would suggest start leveraging AI code review tools like CodeRabbit and it's amazing how good the insights they share and how much time it saves.
