The problem is human, not technical. Companies and managers need to start caring about the details instead of crossing items off a list. Until we see that culture shift in the industry, which might never happen, AI isn't going to help—if anything, it'll make the problem worse as devs rush to deliver on arbitrary deadlines.
Plus, if you are skipping tests or telling yourself, you wrote them when they don’t actually verify anything in the first place, then buying into a hype cycle of “the AI writes perfect code“ is unlikely to break the pattern
Well the reason I think it might be different is that I am noticing a material change in my behavior.
I have always cared a lot about quality and craftsmanship. Now when I am working and notice something wrong, I just fix it. I can code it entirely with AI in the time it would've take me to put it on an eternal backlog somewhere.
