Programming today still has "cruft", unit tests being an example. The platonic ideal is to have AI reduce the cruft so engineers can focus on the creativity and problem solving. In practice, AI does end up taking over the creative bits as people prompt at higher levels of abstraction.
- skydhash 1y agoUnit tests aren’t cruft. Unless you’re blindly adding tests. It’s often the easiest things to write as the structures are the same so you can copy paste code, adding harness,… If writing tests is difficult that’s often a clear indication that your code has an issue architecture wise. If writing test is tedious, that can means you’re not familiar with the tooling or have no clear idea of the expected input~output ranges.
