We always could. That has been true since the days we programmed computers by plugging jumper wires into a panel.

That's news to me, and I'm an ancient greybeard in development.

If you have a team of 1x f/time developer and 1x f/time tester, the tester would be spending about half their day doing nothing.

Right now, a single developer with Claude code can very easily overwhelm even a couple of testers with new code to test.
