Verification and Trust — How You Know the Agent's Code Is Right

A coding agent can produce a confident, plausible change that's subtly wrong — and the whole value collapses if you can't tell. Verification is how you know the agent's code actually works, and trust is what you build (or lose) based on it. Because code is verifiable, coding agents can check much of their own work — but the human reviewer remains the final, accountable arbiter. This post is about verifying agent-written code and the trust that makes coding agents usable.

A coding agent can produce a confident, plausible, subtly-wrong change — verification is how you know it's actually right. Why verification drives the agent's self-correction AND your trust, the layered toolkit (tests, type-checks, diff review, human review), and the rule: trust is earned through verification, and the human stays accountable.
