I haven't seen anyone talk about mutation testing as a strategy for avoiding regressions on legacy code without perfect test coverage.

@jbackus3 w/ low mutation, in order to change any part of the code, you have to also modify a large number of tests, slowing productivity -
@mifreewil Well it depends. Usually I have to write tests that weren't there and should be. -
@mifreewil But now our tests are almost always properly decoupled from implementation. Now changing code means legitimately changing tests
