Agree on the application side, but when it comes to the test suite, I'm definitely gonna consider letting an AI get that file started and then I'll run through, make sure the assertions are all what I would expect and refactor anything that needs it.

I've written countless tests in my career and I'm still gonna write countless more, but I'm glad I can at least spend less time on laborious repetition now and more time on the part of the job I actually enjoy which is actually solving problems.

Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.
