Comment(by mikeperry):

 Yes, gk, from a best practice point of view, you are absolutely right.
 Dogma dictates that engineers should at least write their own unit tests.
 However, I am just barely skating above parity with opened bugs at this
 point. Any help I can get wrt people testing stuff for me is beyond
 useful.

 Additionally, there is a natural mental barrier that you experience when
 you are forced to test your own code, rooted in incentive. If you find
 bugs in your own code, this only creates more work for you. No dopamine
 bonus there, only pain is your reward. A different individual, however, is
 more motivated to create *excellent* tests, to prove that they are useful
 by finding bugs (because of course, they are).

 Further, I think I might go with a more direct solution for JS issues
 anyways (#5856). So... Meh?
