💻 The Risk of "Comprehension Debt" in the Age of AI Coding
The gap between the speed of AI code generation and the ability of developers to understand it creates a risk of accumulating architectural errors. AI commits can contain up to 24.2% defects that pass inspection.
🌍 A shift is occurring in engineering: verification is becoming the bottleneck. Companies risk accumulating "legacy code" within months.
👤 It is crucial to transition from the role of "programmer" to the role of "expert reviewer."
