    AI loves to writing tests way too early. I like tests that fortify the implementation after careful review. > “Don’t update or write tests until I’ve approved both the implementation and behavior. Then, use red-green-refactor against main that this PR resolves.”

    Protip - write the PR title and description yourself. It’s like taking a quiz to see if you’re understanding matches what the code actually does.

    the focus on whether you read the code or not is the wrong thing to look at if you have software you're responsible for, you should be able to answer questions from memory about how it works the expectations for how well you can do this should not be any different now

    Now that code generation is so fast, people are debating about the time to review the code. What about making QA fast with 🤖 too? Before/After screenshots & videos. Affected URLs & cohorts. Auto-updated product docs. Evergreen smoke tests. Perf deltas.
