Yes I think any codegen with a lot of tests and verification is more about “fitting” to the tests. Like fitting an ML model. It’s model training, not coding.

But a lot of programming we discover correctness as we go, one reason humans don’t completely exit the loop. We need to see and build tests as we go, giving them particular care and attention to ensure they test what matters.

The agent can obviously do that
