Why do you think it is badly needed?

Not arguing with you, just curious what you're thinking here.

I'm thinking of the stories I've read about developer burnout. Then tweets where people say developing is 90% debugging and 10% writing code. These systems would hopefully reduce burnout, shorten troubleshooting times, and identify problems before code is rolled out to Production.
It seems to me in the short term we'll be doing more debugging and even less writing as we copy & paste suggestions and try to figure out why they aren't working.
I think in the end it might cause more debugging. And I mean hard debugging with things being subtly wrong and not trivial to fix or correct.
