Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Not reading the code is a bet on the trajectory. The tools may not be perfect, but they're good enough for many use cases, and they're improving incredibly quickly.

People shouldn't be reckless, but code will soon become an implementation detail, and directly interacting with it will not be how engineers make sure it is correct.
