A new analysis of coding-agent migrations argues that the crucial test is not whether an agent can change a codebase, but whether its result can be checked independently.
Why it mattersStackness examines published examples including GitHub’s move from TypeScript to Rust and an Asana test-framework update. It points to existing test suites and side-by-side database comparisons as checks that operate outside the coding agent’s control. That is a practical lesson for teams weighing agent-led migrations: keep verification separate from the system doing the work. A confident agent and a passing test are not the same thing, and it is useful to know which one you have.
Discuss: For a major code migration, should independent verification be a non-negotiable requirement, even when it adds time and cost?
