One thing I've noticed using agents for coding is that they really like to write thousands of unit tests but not dynamically test.

you can just tell them to do more dynamic testing. I think dynamic testing is partly frowned upon because it slows things down & can take down software where you wouldn't expect

And they like to burn a ton of tokens writing and debugging tests that are semantically corrupt.

In the past Google et al would hire engineers based on how well they could optimize the infrastructure.

Maybe soon companies will look at how engineers can optimize the token efficiency of AI.

That assumes Tokens will remain a meaningful expense. I’m not sure developers will find uses for ever more tokens nearly as quickly as the prices fall.
