But if unit tests that other people wrote unexpectedly break, you know that you changed things that you maybe didn't mean to change.

Ideally. It's just that more often than not it means you need to update the unit tests. I can still use my fingers to count how many times a unit test has caught a mistake I made, and I've been at my job for 10 years.

I'm curious if others have a different experience.
