i feel like even a "thanks, done sir" would be better than meat proxying onto their gracious human-driven pr here

[Fraser Price @fraserpricee]

clean code guy @unclebobmartin says he creates good software without reading the code

was curious so I spent an afternoon reading some recent code.
not sure i agree, PR here 🤗

TL;DR: read the code pls Bob

also e2e tests are take much more work to maintain -> more slop agent shit

[William Zhang @wzhang]

true that agents bloat tf out of unit tests but its still the best way to set invariants/guard against edge cases into your code

good luck migrating/rewriting existing code without unit tests

tbh just dont get lazy when writing tests. dont vibe them and make sure they actually test behavior and not implementation

[Richard Wu @0xrwu]

IMO the only tests you should have in the age of coding agents are, in order of priority:

1. Full E2E tests. Nothing mocked out at all. Can even be something that runs in prod on test accounts via Playwright or equivalent.
2. Integration tests. Agents make more mistakes as things bleed between data/API boundaries where schemas can drift.
3. Golden tests. This helps ground the code with real examples of data, and can be used as regressions against edge cases.

Unit tests are bloat 99% of the time if you’re using a frontier model since they’re smart enough now to get the implementation (and subsequent iterations) right on the first shot, so they only add bloat at this point.
