  • the tests are now larger than the thing itself

    Is such a weird complaint. You should aim for your codebase to be as small, simple and readable as possible, while your tests should be a specification that guarantees behavior is consistent between refactors. When you add behavior, you add tests, when you remove a behavior, you delete tests.

    The size of either is independent of eachother. Small code bases that provide lots of features should be simple to read, but with a lot of tests.
