I've lived the high stakes life. We can be this crazy passionate about being the HITL but that will eventually change.

Without an approved test harness? Doubtful. The exact viewpoint espoused in the article is that we should be deploying, agentically, into production, without testing, with no gating, and rolling back any failures. This is simply not a reasonable process. Current agentic development works much better with firm requirements and a solid test suite. In the future, we will still need the test suite, that is validated deterministically. Deploying bad software is not harmless.
I believe you may be mischaracterizing the article's position. It didn't advocate for deploying without testing or any of the other items you mention. Rather, it discussed how well and quick AI solved a problem. There's an important distinction between what was actually proposed and the extreme position you're describing.
