Ball: regressions are far less of a problem with agents than humans
Thorsten Ball, calling it controversial, said he has found regressions to be far less of a problem with agents than with humans. David Crawshaw agreed, saying a panic from a missing nil-check now happens once every couple of months and usually involves legacy code humans partially wrote.
At this point, if I write it by hand you are going to get more bugs.
