AI Coding Tools Are Creating Systems Nobody Fully Understands
SMRTR summary
AI coding tools have widened software's oldest asymmetry: writing code is now nearly free, but understanding it remains stubbornly expensive. Teams accumulate 'ghost architecture' — multiple competing patterns, undocumented abstractions, and locally correct but globally incoherent decisions — while velocity metrics look healthy. The engineers who'll matter most aren't the fastest generators, but those who can restore coherence to AI-assisted codebases.
