The hidden cost of AI-assisted coding is not bad code. It is losing the ability to explain your own system. Here is a lightweight workflow that keeps the speed without surrendering understanding.
Last week, an AI agent generated a clean implementation for me in minutes.
The tests passed. The types passed. The diff looked reasonable.
Then I tried to explain the change without looking at the code.
I couldn't.
That is when I realized I had been measuring the wrong thing.
Everyone talks about AI speeding up coding. Nobody talks about debugging AI-generated code.
