I agree, normally the process (especially of manual testing) is a cultural thing and something you instill into new devs when you get broken PRs - "please run the tests before submitting for review", or "please run the script in staging, here's the error I got: ...".

Catching this is my job, but it becomes harder if the PR actually has passing tests and just "looks" good. I'm sure we'll develop the culture around LLMs to make sure to teach new developers how to think, but since I learned coding in a pre-LLM world, perhaps I take a lot of things for granted. I always want to understand what my code does, for example - that never seemed optional before - but now it seems to get you much further than just copy-pasting stuff from Stack Overflow ever did.
