Summary

So if an AI coding agent scores, I don't know, like 98% on a standardized benchmark test, you'd probably think, wow, it's ready to handle our production code base tomorrow morning. You'd think it's good to go.

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of right, code, okay, including: You'd think it's good to go.
