For example, there is a 100% test coverage requirement in both server and client, combined with AI-driven review rules that say all tests must be non-vacuous, plus a ton of invariants enforced via deterministic checks.
This is why my current view in terms of LLM productivity gains are:
- debugging and triaging 5x
- refactoring when you have tests in place 3x
- greenfield where you have zero tests is about 1.5x
