OK, this would sound dangerous, right? "I asked Cursor: 'Take this React component, make the rows draggable, persist the order, and generate tests.' It did. I ran the tests, and everything passed; I then shipped the feature without ever opening the code. Not because I couldn't but because I didn't have to." Shipping without even looking at the code? I would say this is a lot less concern for developers than it might seem. After all, for most, the code - the actual code - has always been hidden. Developers who write in Javascript or C or PHP know that these are high-level languages, and that they are automatically compiled into low level code which actually does the work. Testing - not code inspection - catches any problems. AI-generated code is the same thing, just at one level of abstraction higher.
