Testing on a testnet is definitely worth doing—don't get me wrong. Just remember it shouldn't become your only focus. Make sure you're also testing on mainnet conditions, monitoring real-world scenarios, and validating your contract behavior under actual market conditions. Balancing testnet experiments with production readiness is key to building robust protocols.

Testnet is great, but only when you go live on the mainnet do you realize how crappy your code is. A painful lesson, brother.

That's right, but I think many people are just stubbornly sticking to the testnet. As a result, they crash as soon as they go live on the mainnet. I'm truly convinced.

That's right. Playing around on the testnet is fun, but I've seen too many people crash on the mainnet afterward... We really need to strike a balance.
