Also, when something invariably doesn’t work (maybe I told Claude “delay 1 sec after each swing of the axe the robot makes if the proximity sensor trips to avoid the puppy that walks across the ax’s path once every month”, and meant to type “2 sec”), I still have to go down to the level of the code sometimes. I’m sure the counter argument is “well then that just means your testing wasn’t good enough”. Sure, but I’ve never seen any project with hardware in the loop where the testing was good enough 100% of the time. Sometimes it’s hard to test once in a month type events in a regression test suite.
FWIW I hover around 80-90% code AI written these days. I still look at every line of code it makes.
