I really like the summary!
| the power of exercising any piece of your software in `O(1)` keystrokes. By `O(1)` I mean that regardless of how big | ||
| your application becomes you will always be one button away of seeing the impact of your changes. | ||

| The superpower of having the tightest feedback loop. |

This is fantastic! Amazing work.
I have one tiny change to ask for here.
Your summary is a claim that has two parts: The main reason you believe tests slow you down is something that is actually a huge well of unrealized potential
Part 1: This idea is one of the main reasons you may believe tests slow you down
Part 2: The idea is an unrealized superpower
You've done a fantastic job of making Part 2 clear, but Part 1 is still not clear. Why is this a main reason that people believe tests slow you down? I strongly recommend you put one line into this intro that clarifies this. Once you do so, the thesis will become crystal clear!

This makes sense. Could be a good content for a next post.
| Let's add a page to Enterprise Corporate Website. Page will list employees that have birthdays today. List must be in an alphabetic order. | ||
|
|
||
| Your fire up your IDE, write new page, deploy to DEV environment and test it. All looks good. | ||
| A minute later you realize that your company doesn't have employees with the same last name that have birthdays on the sae day. |
| Regardless of how large or small you software is, tweaking your castle and validating it in a matters of seconds using | ||
| an ever growing system of teleports will make you consistently productive on day one, day two, day hundred and day thousand. | ||

| # Real Life Boring Example |

This boring example is night and day. It precisely describes what a teleport is and why it helps. With this change (even without the change in the summary I recommended above) this article is ready to be published! Very impressive.
| What important is you have a very tight feedback loop between your changes and the result. | ||
| You bypass database admins (ahem, dragon, ahem, JK), web pages, internal auth systems and get straight to the business logic at hand. | ||

| # Summary |

I really love the summary. This article does the following 3 things very well:
- It tells the reader what they are going to read
- The thing
- It tells the reader what they just read
Adding #3 by creating a summary just supercharged the article :)
