>The people really leading AI coding right now (and I’d put myself near the front, though not all the way there) don’t read code. They manage the things that produce code.

I can’t imagine any other example where people voluntarily move for a black box approach.

Imagine taking a picture on autoshot mode and refusing to look at it. If the client doesn’t like it because it’s too bright, tweak the settings and shoot again, but never look at the output.

What is the logic here? Because if you can read code, I can’t imagine poking the result with black box testing being faster.

Are these people just handing off the review process to others? Are they unable to read code and hiding it? Why would you handicap yourself this way?

I can think of a few. The last 78 pages of any 80-page business analysis report. The music tracks of those "12 hours of chill jazz music" YouTube videos. Political speeches written ahead of time. Basically - anywhere that a proper review is more work than the task itself, and the quality of output doesn't matter much.

So... things where the producer doesn't respect the audience? Because any such analysis would be worth as much as a 4.5 hour atonal bass solo.
