The moment all code is interacted with through agents I cease to care about code quality. The only thing that matters is the quality of the product, cost of maintenance etc. exactly the thing we measure software development orgs against. It could be handy to have these projects deployed to demonstrate their utility and efficacy? Looking at PRs of agents feels a wrong headed, like who cares if agents code is hard to read if agents are managing the code base?

You should at least read the tests, to make sure they express your intent. Personally, I'm not going to take responsibility for a piece of code unless I've read every line of it and thought hard about whether it does what I think it does.

AI coding agents are still a huge force-multiplier if you take this approach, though.
