Dan Luu ships AI code with no review, trusting fuzzing over unit tests (danluu.com)

Dan Luu describes a workflow where a support ticket becomes a PR automatically, and he'll ship without human review if the fuzzing coverage is deep enough. He borrows it from Centaur, a chip company that ran 1,000 test machines for 40 engineers and shipped under one serious bug a year, with no unit tests.

After 50 runs he also found the viral 'caveman mode' token trick gave no consistent edge.

The thread argues over whether property-based testing can really replace unit tests.
