Now, people will say that, of course, Jensen and Peter will promote spending tokens. My perspective, prefaced by that, is that it is hard to track token usage if you are not 100% reliant on a single API provider.

I've been reading Gergely Orosz's deepdive on what happens to Software Engineering when AI writes almost all of the code( link in comments).It's a thoughtful, well-researched piece.And it got me thinking about QA.Because in all the AI discourse right now, testing is often not mentioned.And yet the capability to generate entire test suites with AI? It's already here.Tools like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex can produce full frameworks without a human writing a single line.So the uncomfortable question for me and maybe you becomes:

“Open” used to mean something specific.These days, it’s mostly become “open to interpretation.”And that’s the real problem with a lot of engineering buzzwords right now. The name stays the same while the meaning drifts.QA feels the cost of that drift first.Because when the marketing term is vague, the expectations are vague. And then tests become guesswork, release readiness becomes a debate, and “works in staging” turns into a production incident.I don’t care what it’s called.I care whether we can do two boring things consistently:1. Define what “correct” means

How AI changed my software engineering workflow 👀 My software engineering workflow looks very different now.These days, I do around 80% of the work by prompting Claude and only about 20% is manual coding to adjust, refine or polish the output.I've also mostly stopped using ChatGPT for development work and switched to Claude (sonnet + opus) as my main tool.The biggest reason is simple: the latest models have become good enough that in many cases it's faster to describe the task clearly than to implement everything from scratch myself.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been going deep into AI evaluations (evals) — and honestly, it’s changed how I think about testing. Traditional QA is bu

"My MR is still in review, but we can already start testing."I've heard this sentence more times than I can count.And every time, I feel the same thing: a quiet alarm going off in my head.I agree to test it. We find a compromise.Then two days later:"I only changed a var name and formatted one file. The IDE did it automatically. Nothing changed."And there it is. The second sentence that should trigger every QA.Because here's what I've learned after a few years in QA:Every change is a CHANGE!

WHY TESTING CAN'T SAVE YOU ANYMOREI need to say something that might upset my fellow QA professionals: testing, as we practice it today, cannot save you from what's coming.I've spent 14 years working in test. I've written test documentation, led the QA process, and implemented almost everything from manual tests to API testing and chaos engineering. Testing has been my career and my craft. And I'm telling you — the model is breaking.Here's why. The IDE changed how developers write code. Copilots changed how fast they write.
