When you rely on AI coding...

Your code works (Youtube, SFW)

Haha, this made me laugh — the “I have no idea what I did, but I’m taking credit” moment is way too relatable when leaning on AI for coding. Honestly, AI can speed things up, but it’s still easy to lose track of why something works.
In teams I’ve seen, companies like Tech-Stack handle this by combining AI assistance with strong code reviews and documentation practices. That way, you don’t just get working code — you get maintainable, understandable code that your whole team can rely on. It’s the difference between “it works, somehow” and actually knowing your system inside-out.
So yeah, giving AI a hand is fine, just make sure you pair it with processes that ensure ownership and clarity. Otherwise, you end up with mysterious magic code that no one remembers writing.
