I‘m so happy about this article. I was forming a thought in my head the last couple of days, which is how to describe what it is that makes AI code practically unusable in good systems.

And one of the reasons is the one described in this article and the other is, that you skip training your mental model when you don’t grind these laziness patterns. If you are not in the code grinding to your codebase, you don’t see the fundamental issues that block the next level nor you have the itch to name and abstract it properly so you wont have to worry about in the future, when somebody or you have to extend it.

Knowing your shit is so powerful.

I believe now that my competive advantage is grinding code, whilst others are accumulating slop.
