I could copy 250k lines from github.

Faster than using ai. Cheaper. Code is better tested/more secure. I can learn/build with other humans.

This is how I test my code currently.

  1. Backend unit tests — fast in-memory tests that run the full suite in ~5 seconds on every save.                                                                 
  2. Full end-to-end tests — automated UI tests that spin up a real cloud server, run through the entire user journey (provision → connect → manage → teardown), and
   verify the app behaves correctly on all supported platforms (phone, tablet, desktop).                                                                            
  3. Screenshot regression tests — every E2E run captures named screenshots and diffs them against saved baselines. Any unintended UI change gets caught            
  automatically.

Check out exe.dev/Shelley web agent it facilitates much of what you describe by default.

sounds like your only measure of good tests is how quickly the llm can produce and run them. not a good metric.

LOL screenshot regression. You're still not a dev buddy read some books

I was not a app developer before, but a systems engineer with devops experience. But I learnt a lot about apple development, app store connect and essential became a app developer in a month. I don't think I can learn so quickly with other humans help.

You might be surprised. In 2008, when the App Store first came out, I became an iPhone app developer after reading one book. I already knew C, so Objective C wasn't a big leap.

Between my own apps and consulting work, I had a pretty good side business. Like everything else though, those days didn't last forever. But there was a lot of easy money early on.

If you lost access to AI would you be able to continue development on your app?

		Goal is to build something that will have value. Once it has value, I can hire a team or open source it, if AI ceases to exist in this world.
