Sorry, I think you're right that I misinterpreted your comment. I still had in mind OP's example (BDD, mutational testing, all that jazz). I apologize!

Reading your comment, it looks like you work for a pretty nice company that takes those things seriously. I envy you!

My concern was that for companies unlike yours that don't have well established engineering practices, it _feels_ that with AI you can go much faster and in fact it's a great excuse to dismantle any remaining practices. But, in reality they either doing busywork or building the wrong thing. My guess is that those are going to learn that this is a bad idea in the future, when they already have a mess to deal with.

To put what I mean into perspective... if you browse OP's profile you can find absolutely gigantic PRs like https://github.com/leynos/weaver/pull/76. I can not review any PR like that in good faith, period.
