>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?

Almost everyone does this. Hardly anyone taking pictures understands what f-stop or focal length are. Even those who do seldom adjust them.

There dozens of other examples where people voluntarily move to a black box approach. How many Americans drive a car with a manual transmission?

You missed out on the rest of the analogy though, which is the part where the photo is not reviewed before handing it over to the client.
