it does not result in great results left unattended, it’ll start creating slop or hardcoding solutions
but overtime if you adjust your verification rubric, it’s not too bad, gets pretty good, if you do make it do TDD, it gets kinda crazy and you’ll have 2000-3000 tests after awhile, or on my common case, 6000-7000 lines of code in single files (i usually have a cron to audit files for decomposition and create tickets)
i wouldn’t use it at my job yet, but it’s been fun to use for personal projects - it’s like modded minecraft automation or factorio
Static analysis can help here! Add CI checks for duplicated code or file length.
For test growth, maybe use a coverage tracker and remove redundant tests?
