Two posts ago I said I'd shipped code I never read. It's easy to write that as a general observation about the industry. It's less comfortable to go open your own repo and count.
So I did. Here's what I found, and what I've actually done about it.
The repo
It's a desktop app I built for my own company. Roughly fourteen thousand lines of Python, a Tkinter UI, invoicing and documents and reports, the kind of internal tool nobody else will ever see. I had never written Python before I started it. I built it anyway, with a lot of AI help, learning as I went.
That combination - no prior experience, heavy AI assistance, a real deadline because the business actually needed the thing - is basically a diff debt factory. I wasn't cutting corners on purpose. I just didn't have the knowledge to evaluate half of what I was merging, and it worked, so I moved on.
