Developers Use AI Shift to Delete Hundreds of Thousands of Unit-Test Lines

Summary

A post says developers deleted 800,000 lines of unit tests from the Sazabi monorepo earlier this week. It gives two reasons under consideration: tests may lock in low-quality code by making it harder to change or remove, and they may slow development by requiring an AI agent to do more local work and by increasing continuous-integration time. The post does not provide the third hypothesis mentioned in its opening list.
