    Indeed, my code has never been more rich in unit tests now that coding assistants make them so easy to add

    Me as well. A year ago there was significant trouble with those unit tests not adding much value but that has improved a lot over the past several model updates. The unit tests aren’t 100% as good as they could or even should be (neither are human generated unit tests that take 10x as long to add) - but in terms of time invested vs value derived, they’re excellent value for effort.

    If the coding assistant subsequently does something weird that changes program behaviour it knows immediately.

    About 90% of the time for me now, in Opus 5.5.
