The case for testing agent-written code instead of reviewing every line

A post argues that manually reviewing every line of agent-written code offers little acceleration. It favors adversarial agent reviews, automated testing and perhaps spot checks.

TLDR

The post says building confidence in agent-written code takes time, but argues that reviewing every line is not a viable long-term approach. It recommends adversarial agent reviews and automated testing, with possible spot checks, to get from prompt to production.

DHH@dhhIt takes a while to build the confidence, but there's no future where you're manually reviewing every line of agent code. Not much acceleration in that. You need adversarial agent reviews, you need automated testing, and maybe you spot check. That's it. From prompt to production!12d
