Yes, I understand that. And yet I keep opening up repos written by other people that have insane tests. And sometimes I even come across people who managed to notice it but thought it was a good thing because "moar tests == moar good"
Just because *you* can avoid it doesn't mean it's not an issue with the tooling.
Nah that's not a tooling issue (although - more - mitigation tools can always be built). That's a people issue. And it still may not be their fault per se, like an accountant might have read in a random programming blog that tests are good, so when they decide to "vibe code an award-winning accounting tool", they're going to stick a "ensure there are lots of tests" into that prompt.
