You know you've reached peak software engineering when you need to write unit tests to verify that your unit tests are working correctly. The recursive nature of testing your own code is like that inception moment where you question reality itself. Why trust your new code when you can't even trust the code you wrote five minutes ago? The circular logic here is chef's kiss – if the verification code has bugs, how would you even know? You'd need tests for your tests for your tests. It's turtles all the way down, except the turtles are all potentially buggy and none of them have been properly peer reviewed.
