The root cause is 'knowledge debt' — AI generates code without generating understanding, leaving engineers unable to reason about failures. Teams split into two failure modes: over-trust (accepting AI output uncritically) and under-trust (reviewing everything, negating productivity gains). Successful adopters constrain AI to low-consequence tasks, invest in dedicated senior review, and measure defect escape rates and churn rather than raw output velocity. The core argument is that AI coding tools accelerate implementation while eroding the mental models engineers need to maintain and debug systems. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
