    My workflow leans on AI for some tasks: review what I wrote, drop me a one-off script (this one is the generative exception), and so on.Or even initial scaffolding.

    For the rest I do not. I do not place AI-generated code anywhere.

    You lose all control AND UNDERSTANDING.

    When things go wrong it gets very messy.

    I will keep doing this, I think it works well, I emjoy programming and I think it is productive.

    For testimg I tend to write randomized testing, which takes a bit of design but oncr you have it, well, it os test-generatove and increases the quality of checks.
