Opportunity BasketDevelopers can't trust AI-generated code quality and maintainability
Developers who use AI coding assistants face a critical problem: AI generates overly complex, poorly organized code that they don't fully understand, leading to unmaintainable systems that even the AI can't debug later. This creates a false productivity gain—code gets written faster but becomes a technical debt nightmare that requires developers to rewrite or heavily refactor it, ultimately wasting time and creating fragile systems.

Paul Graham talked about this in a recent essay: "Should students still study computer science if AIs will write most code? ... even if you have AIs writing all your code for you, you're still in the position of an engineering manager, and good engineering managers should be able to do the work of t...
