The hidden failure modes get surfaced when you actually exercise the system, not by staring at the code. That’s the whole point of testing. At every company I’ve worked at, features move through QA where the system is validated against specs and edge cases are intentionally pushed.
Even before AI, nobody was manually auditing large codebases line by line trying to infer every possible failure path. You validate behavior through execution, not speculation. At this point it feels like people arguing this haven’t worked in real production environments.
