The Problem: Constantly checking AI outputs fragments your focus. You lose the thread of what you were building. Creativity suffers.
- Changes that look fine force you to re-read code you didn't touch
- Surprise behavior breaks pull you out of your creative flow
- You start working against the AI instead of with it
- Agents pause while you inspect output
The Problem: Each merge adds doubt instead of trust. You hesitate before running agents again. You expect future interruptions from hidden bugs.
- Merges feel risky when CI says everything's fine
- You ship with unanswered questions
- You worry about what will break later
- Work batches up behind reviews
The Problem: Reviews, tests, and coverage were built for humans writing code. They assume authorship, intent, and a pace that no longer exists.
- Code review shows what changed, not why it exists
- Intent doesn't mean the AI implemented what you wanted
- AI implements so much that you forget to validate everything it output
- Not validating leads to unintended consequences for your users
