I have a project that is (debatably, like any real-world system) well-structured and follows solid engineering practices. Clear separation of concerns, proper build pipeline, and strict rules around what should and shouldn’t be committed.
A new developer joins the project.
They are eager. Productive. And like many developers today, they have AI tools like Claude Code in their workflow.
At first, everything looks fine.
Code is being written fast. Features are landing quickly. The velocity looks great.
