> If you even review PRs still: when was the last time you didn't just skip over tests?

The opposite. Reviewing PRs is now about just reviewing the tests, as the code is very likely to be fine if tests are relevant and they're passing.

The main enabler of agentic coding is heavy end-to-end/characterisation testing.

We can ask AI to do very large-scale refactors, for example, because if tests pass, it's 99% that everything is fine.
