Lololol Nope :
I literally don’t write anything except prompts anymore. Implementation code, unit tests, e2e test all agentic.

johncaloun :
Because most of the time they’re pointless and inferior to integration tests. Mocking key systems like a database or message broker doesn’t give you a true representation of your application.

Unit tests are there to make code coverage % look nice lol

Aidy :
If you're AI generating your tests then don't bother, your tests are useless. Just accept you're not testing your code.

logan :
though do you not find AI writes test that’ll pass, rather than properly test the boundaries of your code?

What I really hate is that ai took away the fun and the magic from learning and building new stuff…

Pluckerpluck :
The real problem with this is we no longer trust the tests. They started failing? AI will just update the tests to make them pass.

because of AI i found myself starting to write unit tests because people push straight garbage. saves a lot of time in the long run

Technically Web3 :
Docs were first for me. I read every line of code. Including unit tests and ESPECIALLY docs. Docs become the source of truth.

I still do though 😅 i just do it for the mental exercise.

Release the Kraken :
I've always thought unit test were a waste of time. Once i saw AI able to create decent unit tests. I can now afford a few seconds to prompt AI to create them 😁

99% of business apps don't need unit tests. Maybe safety critical software else it's not worth the time investment

Reloy :
We have a requirement for 100% unit test coverage now so... There's definitely no time for writing unit tests.

Unit test? I built a whole separate Mac Test Lab Application to test my iOS app’s internal processors, that’s the power of AI.

helloo :
Please say you review the tests at least? I like the tests to be proper black box tests, not dumb asserts if a query has a where statement etc

Mike :
AI has gotten better at testing as well. Not long ago I had a few rounds where AI mocked an interface, called the methods and verified if the methods were called.

Those vibecoder on tiktok don’t know about coverage and PI tests obviously🤔

We are skeletons :
I think we should the opposite, write unit tests, and e2e as the main spec and source of truth if you wanna delegate the rest, but make sure to keep architecture clean with rules and other .md context for general approaches for features and UI references. We already have AI native libs and utiy like shadcn, tailwind, trcp, openapi spec, put that in Monorepo with Nx and you have it all.

myost2921 :
That’s why I code my Ai workflow to approach my code via TDD methodology and include in the instructions to only write enough code to pass the tests. Bounded context is key to make AI work properly and that starts from good requirements
