[00:00] Do you write the test yourself or let agents do it for you? I have agents write all of my code, which includes the tests. The problem with like previous models, especially like Sonnet 3.7, is that they were writing fake tests, which is like unit tests or integration tests that always pass.
[00:14] But this really isn't the issue with Fable and GPT-546-SOL. These agents are much more honest and they cheat a lot less. But yes, tests are just code and I use agents to write all the code. The main thing is you need to understand why the code exists
[00:26] and the underlying logic. You need to know every single line, every single function name. There's people who still believe that, but those are things of the past. With agents, you need to have awareness of what the product does. What are the main features?
[00:38] How do they work? How does the login work? How does authentication work? What does the front-end do? What does the back-end do? In your specific project, you don't need to know every specific line of code, and you definitely don't need to write your code yourself. So do you ever deploy code that you can't understand?
[00:50] Yes, every single day. Fable and GBD-516-SOL are literally better programmers than 99% of programmers. So anybody who's using these models, if you want to use them efficiently, they will write better code than you. You just need to keep some standards, you know.
[01:03] Is it modular? Is it scalable? Is it maintainable? Is it readable? You need to know how to control these agents. But just like in any company, there are going to be people who do things better than you that you don't understand, right? If you have a software business with 500 developers, hopefully you as the CEO are not the best developer.
[01:18] Otherwise, you did a shit job at hiding.
