Two things:

1. Tests have always been both about the function of the application, but also the communication of what should be occurring to the larger team or yourself six months down the road.

With automated software development the communication with the LLM itself is a much larger part of it so I feel like it's "ok" to have lots of easy tests that are less about rigor and more about "yes this is how this should work"

2. Ideally we're going to get to the point where the tooling allows for adversarial agents with one writing code and one writing tests. Even for now just popping open a separate terminal window and generating+running tests in it from your main coding terminal is helpful.
