Zed AI is much better than cursor I've found.
In what way exactly? I wish Zed was better here but it's at about the same level as the current nvim plugins avail. As far as I can tell it's just a UI for adding context.

> Unit, integration, e2e, types and linters would catch most of the things you mention. Who’s writing those?
Lots of people. For certain types of software (ISO) they are required. But I'm in the boat (and also experienced many times first hand) all those tests you write will by definition, never test against that first production bug you get :)
I'm not convinced that using AI as more than auto-complete is really a viable solution, because you can't shortcut an understanding of the problem domain to be assured of the correctness of code (and at that point the AI has mostly saved you some typing). The theory-crafting process of building software is probably the most important aspect of it. It not only provides assurance of the correctness of what you're building, it provides feedback into product development (restrictions, pushback that suggests alternate ways of doing things, etc.).
