Developers Require Proven Code Before Pull Requests
8.0
On December 18, 2025, the author urges software engineers to pair all code changes with manual and automated proof of correctness, criticizing junior developers who submit large untested PRs generated by LLMs. They recommend two required steps—manual reproduction and automated tests—and encourage using 2025 coding agents (for example, Claude Code and Codex CLI) to execute and iterate tests while humans retain accountability.
Key Points
- 1Mandates bundling manual and automated tests with every code change to prove correctness
- 2Highlights that coding agents can execute and iterate, making tests feasible and reliable
- 3Advises humans to retain accountability by providing reproducible commands, videos, and failing tests
Scoring Rationale
Practical, timely guidance on testing LLM-generated code; limited by opinionated perspective and lacking empirical validation.
