Ever signed a 28-page legal form after reading every line? Now imagine reading that ten times a day. In code font. Full of "oopsies" and "I apologize", because code agents love a story. New blog: testingil.com/2026/09/ai-c... #AITesting #AIGeneratedCode #SoftwareTesting #CodeQuality #AIAgents

I make coffee with a scale and a moka pot, and I watch the flow. It works because there's a controller paying attention. With code agents, we gave up our controller role. That's how slop comes out. Full post on LI: lnkd.in/p/eDSVPD4r

Risks, risks, risks. Anything good to say about AI? Sure. Intent used to live in your head - docs, specs, sometimes coffee. Now you type it to an agent, so it can be captured, recorded, tracked. The rest of the risks are real. Webinar recording → www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_BK... #AITesting

Push one file, and the whole pipeline fires. It works because the change was in that file. But with AI agents, changes are not pushed. The model changes behavior on the same prompts. Nothing was pushed. Nothing ran. You're blind. New blog: testingil.com/2026/08/ai-v... #AITesting #AIAgents
