> Many software developers like me have faced challenges to our mental health.

It's a stressful industry at times, probably almost everyone has had crap times at one point or another. And then there's Covid, which affected everyone.

Doesn't mean every mention of the word "sanity" needs to be expunged from our language though. :( :( :(

That way lies er... madness. (!) ;)




Or maybe you, having faced those challenges, next time your fingers hover over the keys to type "sanity" simply pick another, perhaps more descriptive word.


Nope. "Sanity" is a perfectly fine word for this particular type of test, and is widely used in industry.
