The idea of having bots writing code is only the continuation of code analysis. In this mindset, 1/ one creates levels of abstractions and let automated systems write the actual code (eg. through snippets, custom DSLs, etc.) and 2/ one associates its code with tests that are run on automated systems and let the "bots" auto-merge features when tests pass.
For those who are interested, this information comes from the following article (a very long, but interesting thing to read btw): "Why Google Stores Billions of Lines of Code in a Single Repository | July 2016 | Communications of the ACM" - https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/7/204032-why-google-stores-billions-of-lines-of-code-in-a-single-repository/fulltext
