@championswimmer IMO, the unit tests should sit beside the file. Need portability. If I move the folder or extract it into a package, the tests also move. The E2E/acceptance should sit outside the src folder. It should look at your system outside in. It can even be a different repo.

With "return to the office" mandates around the corner at many companies, an outsized advantage any startup has in hiring is hiring for remote, or full-remote roles. Not every company can do this. If you can: be loud and clear that you're one of them.
