AI writes your code, but who owns it when it breaks? The 70% AI-generated codebase problem
djgoel123 · reddit · 2026-10-13
A Reddit discussion on AI coding tools: generating code is easy now, but understanding how it fits the system is not. The author imagines joining a project where 70% of the code is AI-generated with minimal docs and no one understands the architecture — what happens when you debug a production issue at 2 AM? Their take: don't avoid AI code; apply the same engineering discipline — reviews, tests, documentation, clear ownership.
