"I don’t have to think about what I need to test for." Good luck then. The business process flow including edge cases should arguably be top of mind for what to test. Testing shouldn't be an afterthought but rather an integral thought when writing the code that needs to be tested. "I would have to have two or three more junior people doing the work" Yeah, and they're the ones thinking about testing the code they write. Architects (which it sounds like you are an architect and not a dev) don't get into thay much detail. |

I would never trust a junior developer who is just an experienced ticket taker (and most don’t get their first job after 10 years of being hobbyist) to look in that level of detail. Honestly the code is the least important. What it does is. If I’m 50 years old and still just a “human LLM ticket taker”, I’ve done something horrible wrong in life.
By definition, this is the worse AI coding will ever be, anyone hoping to stay in this game long term by being able to “codez real gud” is going to be in for a rude awakening.
Enterprise development where most developers work was becoming a commodity in 2016 where it was easy to become “good enough” and comp still looks like it did on the high end a decade ago. Now it’s even harder to stand out from the crowd.
Now we are seeing that even BigTech jobs where “I can reverse a b tree on the whiteboard” developers are becoming a disposable commodity with all of the layoffs. There is a reason I’ve been moving up the stack and closer to “the business” over the last decade
