Right, I said that property based tests are easier to read, and that's good. But people still have to actually read them. Also, because they still work best at the "unit" level, to understand them, the people reading them need to know how all the units are connected (e.g. a single person cannot review even PBTs required for 10KLOC per day [1]). My point isn't so much about PBT, but about how we don't yet know just how much agents help write real software (and how to get the most help from them). [1]: I'm only using that number because Garry Tan, CEO of YC, claimed to generate 10K lines of text per day that he believes to be working code and developers working with AI agents know they can't be. | ||
