AI agent app modification limited by testability, not framework

The author suggests that the ability of AI agents to modify applications is currently limited by testability rather than the underlying framework, using React Native as an example. They advise against immediate migration to agent-assisted development, recommending instead a measurement of how much of an application an agent can safely alter without causing breakage. This approach highlights current limitations in AI's practical application for app development. AI
