Generating a PR with an agent is cheap now. Checking that it didn't break a user flow still takes a person and a browser.
That second job is where a lot of engineering time goes now.
@ContextQa released Ship, an AI agent that works as an automated QA engineer:
> It reads the PR > works out which user flows the change affects, and runs those flows against the deployed app. > reproduces bugs reported in Slack or Linear, finds the likely cause, and hands the evidence to a developer or a coding agent like Claude or Codex to fix.
If agents are going to ship more code, something other than a human has to exercise the result.
