How perfect is your QA?

I'll answer for myself: At no organization I have ever been at was it perfect enough that devs didn't have to worry about the quality of what they produced. So I think you're asking QA to bear a burden that it has not been able to bear at any place I have ever been.

Second question: What is your time frame? Are you building for the next six months, or the next 20 years?

It is an open question whether AI will produce stuff that is maintainable in the long term. (I know, you have to survive the next six months in order to get to the long term...) But if you don't look, you don't know what kind of headaches are being written.

Fair point on the QA, I might have some strong take there but it’s a chapter I’d rather not open now, but I guess the point of my post is on the last sentence of yours: is looking at the code really necessary to prevent headaches?

I have started delegating chunks of code without looking, and many times when I do look for one reason or another (I still want to know the big picture!) they looked good to me. So my idea it’s just that it could work, but I’m still experimenting as most of us :)
