This is exactly the direction I expect AI-assisted coding to go in. Not software engineers being kicked out and some business person pressing a few buttons to have a fully functional app (as is playing out in a lot of fantasies on LinkedIn & X), but rather experienced engineers using AI to generate bits of code and then meticulously reviewing and testing them.

The million dollar (perhaps literally) question is – could @kentonv have written this library quicker by himself without any AI help?

The million-dollar question is not whether you can review at the speed the model is coding. It is whether you can trust review alone to catch everything.

If a robot assembles cars at lightning speed... but occasionally misaligns a bolt, and your only safeguard is a visual inspection afterward, some defects will roll off the assembly line. Human coders prevent many bugs by thinking during assembly.

THIS.

IMHO more rigorous test automation (including fuzzing and related techniques) is needed. Actually that holds whether AI is involved or not, but probably more so if it is.
