It is amplifying them. The question is whether it is amplifying good engineering practices or bad ones.</p> </blockquote> <p>Artificial Intelligence has fundamentally changed software development. Today, a developer can generate APIs, database layers, tests, infrastructure templates, documentation, and even complete features in minutes. Tasks that previously required days of work can now be completed during a single coffee break.</p> <p>The productivity gains are real. However, many engineering organizations are discovering a less visible side effect: they are shipping more code than they can actually understand.</p>
