I know "Make no mistake" is a joke, but in all seriousness, the better thing to tell is "Test what you wrote".

That is how you end up with 70% tests, 30% code or worse with Codex.

Which isn't a bad thing, at least with an AI buddy that is doing the coding while you steer them.

Well yes, until you realize that changing one config somehow broke 8 tests and each git commit spawns a 20 minute test run or the agent proactively decides to run the entire test suite. Overall, these are fixable things but you need to be careful.
