Not arguing for not reading test code. A lot can be achieved by instructing agents to balance out the testing pyramid with the right amount of fast end to end tests, property based tests for the right things, parametrized example based tests. Ensuring the local and CI has the right mix of tests running at right time. On projects where I have less time to review AI generated code I channel my anxiety into setting up guardrails and processes for the agents and then force them to bump up against them. In the end I view it as creating frameworks which allow me to outsource some of my attention to the agents, so that I can claw back some of that time to go set up more guardrails for more agents who are working on something else.
