IMO I would have agreed with this statement 2 months ago but now it’s clear AI is already much better at reviewing and even testing code (via spinning up simulators, etc) much better than we can. We’re already using AI’s outputs in production and not writing much code these days.

for code in isolation, perhaps, but how does it know what is correct for what the customer wants/needs?

    The way NASA does it so that they can trust deliverables from the lowest bidder.

    That is, have developers translate the wants/needs into detailed contracts of work.
