Easy to say if your code doesn't matter. If you work for regulated industries (FAA, FDA) you can't ship it out the door.

I have been working on automating our tests for years. Manual testing still finds a lot of things despite passing all the automated tests. I'm now convinced anyone who says "automate that" doesn't care about quality, humans are too good at finding things.

I completely agree. Not mentioned in my spiel is the constant human QA effort, each ticket merged gets checked, releases get a week of testing before release to the public.

Also, yeah. I’m iOS frontend. I make pixels dance. Either I leave security to Keychain or I hope (read: confirm) backend is sanitising inputs.
