Soften language around feature spec deterrence

Doug Stull requested to merge 452216-soften-feature-spec-deterrence into master

What does this MR do and why?

Soften language around feature spec deterrence

  • the current language lends itself to perhaps feature specs too easily being dismissed and could lead to possible testing gaps.
  • feature specs have immense value for many reasons(with downsides of course):
    • testing the glue between backend and frontend
    • user journeys like registration/onboarding
  • we should reach for them more often and test in the code what we can before reaching for e2e tests in the qa/ directory that may or may not get created
    • merely some thoughts, but the core goal here in this MR is merely to soften the language first to get more consideration around using them and maybe that is all we do here for now.
