Why it matters

AI applied to development moved the bottleneck. Writing code stopped being the slow part; now the slow part is reviewing, understanding and maintaining what was written. Any team adopting these tools without adjusting review gets faster in week one and slower by month three.

I distinguish between accelerating an experienced developer and accelerating someone just starting. In the first case the tool multiplies judgement; in the second it multiplies the lack of it. Adoption policy has to acknowledge that difference or the codebase fills with plausible, wrong code.

What usually goes wrong

The problem appears when somebody accepts code they do not fully understand but which passes the tests. It works, it ships, and six months later it needs changing. That is when you discover nobody on the team can explain why it is written that way, and the small change becomes a rewrite.

What to watch

  • What happens to tests — generating code without generating tests only moves the problem forward.
  • Where the source code travels when the assistant is used, and what the contract says about it.
  • The effect on people newly joining the team, which is where judgement erodes fastest.

How I read this entry

If I were rolling this out, I would do it with written rules: what can be generated, what always gets human eyes, and what is off limits to an assistant — typically anything handling money, identity or personal data. Rules give freedom, they do not remove it.
