Not sure if these are hot takes:

Difficult to test == poorly designed
Code review is overrated and often poorly executed, most things should be checked automatically (review should still be done though)
Which programming language doesn't matter (within reason), while amount of programming languages matters a lot

Difficult to test == poorly designed

It's pretty much a natural law that GUIs are hard to thoroughly test.

But does it have to be? I haven't touched non-web GUIs since 15 years, so my perspective on this is limited. And web frontend is not what I would call a well designed system for it's current purpose.
