So your AI coding assistant just "fixed" your flaky test by... adding a 5-second sleep. Classic. Instead of actually debugging the race condition like a responsible developer, it just slapped a giant pause button on your test suite and called it a day. Sure, the test passes now, but congratulations—you've just increased your CI/CD pipeline time by 5 seconds per test run. Multiply that by a few hundred tests and suddenly your deploys take longer than a kernel compilation on a Pentium II.
The real kicker? It probably works. The test is green, your PM is happy, and nobody's gonna dig into why there's a random await sleep(5000) chilling in the codebase. Until six months from now when someone tries to figure out why the test suite takes 47 minutes to run.
