Ephemeral testing
We have many ways to ensure software quality. Unit testing. Fuzz testing. Integration testing. And so forth. I'd like to propose a method that was unthinkable before: ephemeral testing. (Ephemeral is a fancy word for 'throw away' or 'temporary'.) You write your code. You build your software component. Or the AI agent does … Continue reading Ephemeral testing
Tests Are The New Moat | Daniel Saewitz
As AI becomes better at cloning people's open source work, what ends up becoming most valuable are software contracts, tests, and API surface area. This clashes the incentives of clearly defining your commercialized open source software with protecting it.
