We recently had an example of this. See Bun vs Zig. Even if your LLM doesn't have meaningless tests and assertions, those will not have 100% coverage on any non-trivial code base.

I've heard some stuff about bun and zig. Can you point me to what's the deal?

Actually great. Boss with the LLM-shares is satisfied, because he met the quota. Customers are satisfied, because the code at least works.
It might still not be efficient or maintainable, even have some in the tests unaccounted-for (because they're ridiculous) errors. But aside from that...

Look, I don't care what you do with your gherkin, Uncle Bob, but you do it in private, OK?

One thing I do love about the LLM era is that people get forced to be way more pendantic when it comes to code, and that's a win for everyone.

... Well admist the enormous losses LLM brings

Yup. Bob has always been full of shit.

It's all that gherkin testing, isn't it?

This is such a sad case of age related cognitive decline

So, basically, he just reinvented constraint programming

If it's his own products and no-one else needs to work that code I don't see a big problem with it, but the ways I've seen agents treat a code base just to pass tests is horrible.

I do a lot of vibe coding, but even I know this is bullshit.
