Not true, it needs them as much if not more. If your testing setup isn't strong, your code will suffer regardless of who or _what_ is writing it. I embrace this in all my agent-assisted projects. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT350: WT350 — Builders Puzzlers And Agents](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/350/), Briefly ## Same host - [Changes in the system prompt between Claude Opus 4.6 and 4.7](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1d174141f23a/) (simonwillison.net, April 21, 2026) - [Notes on Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fb3bcf08bfae/) (simonwillison.net, May 25, 2026) - [OpenAI’s rogue agents were caught communicating via public wikis](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4d7e9f8b2287/) (simonwillison.net, September 17, 2026) - [We’re going to need default hard budget caps on pretty much everything](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/81b68c5ee25b/) (simonwillison.net, October 4, 2026) - [Claude Haiku 5.5](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/85afe82638d5/) (simonwillison.net, October 8, 2026) ## Saved the same week - [Ajeya Cotra – Inside the OpenAI agent swarm that hacked Hugging Face](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7ff1863607a0/) (dwarkesh.com, September 17, 2026) - [Claude Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/635a075958ac/) (vals.ai, September 17, 2026) - [Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude | Claude by Anthropic](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dc7fec7fdf80/) (claude.com, September 17, 2026) - [Unread 5.0](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/efd8c68e3a07/) (goldenhillsoftware.com, September 17, 2026) - [iPhone 18 Pro: A Photographer's Review - YouTube](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/02088718eb1b/) (youtube.com, September 17, 2026) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/11/boris-cherny/
