alt Hacker NewsYou guys always find a way to say "you can be an LLM maximalist too, you just skipped a step."
The bigger story here is not that they forgot to tell the LLM to run tests, it's that agentic use has been so normalized and overhyped that an entire PR was attempted without any QA. Even if you're personally against this, this is how most people talk about agents online.
You don't always have the privilege of working on a project with tests, and rarely are they so thorough that they catch everything. Blindly trusting LLM output without QA or Review shouldn't be normalized.

I am not saying you should be a LLM maximalist at all. I am just saying LLMs need to have a change-test cycle, like humans, in order to be effective. But looks like your goal is not really to be effective at using LLMs, but to bitch about it on the internet.
Who is normalizing merging ANYTHING, LLM-generated or human-generated, without QA or review?
You should be reviewing everything that touches your codebase regardless of source.
