Verify, don't trust

Generation got cheap. The review is the whole job now.

  1. 01Verify, don't trustGeneration is cheap now. The review is the actual work. A green build proves almost nothing.
  2. 02Verification is the job nowGeneration is cheap and verification is the bottleneck, so the review is the work now, not a formality after it.
  3. 03Counterexample huntingAfter it works, try to break it, because confirming success samples the happy path while hunting counterexamples searches where the bugs actually live.
  4. 04A green suite proves it ran, not that it's rightGreen means it ran and matched its own assertions, not that the answer is right. Assert on real values instead of trusting a passing suite.
  5. 05Fresh-context review, or why the author is the worst judgeThe author shares the blind spot that made the bug, so verification needs eyes with clean context, human and AI both.
  6. 06Multi-AI consensus, or checking the same trade on three DEXesOne model's confidence is not evidence, but agreement across independent models is. For the calls that matter, check the trade on three DEXes.
  7. 07The drift check, or scoring the build against the specScore the build against the spec zero to four instead of eyeballing it. A number resists the sunk-cost drift that 'close enough' quietly hides.
  8. 08The acceptance gate, or what "done" actually requiresDefine what 'done' means before you build, as a gate the work passes or fails. Otherwise 'done' drifts to wherever you run out of energy.
  9. 09Verification has to come from outside the systemA system can't catch its own blind spot, so real verification comes from outside it. The test: could this check actually fail, or only admire?
