> And then you are saying you needed to have performance tests (which many devs don't even bother with) to catch bad architecture?? lol

if the cost of writing code collapses, what are the barriers to including these kind of tests?

It seems like the flow and work when using LLMs has to change, spend longer on the plan, spend more time on defensive testing, have more comprehensive tests (input validation, cybersecurity, performance, data hygine) and less time on functionality

if you want to write code the old way where the architecture is human readable and the tests are an after thought, then thats on you if you then ignore the part where the human has to read it.

TLDR: either go full agent, or actually learn the code being produced, but not both.
