AI is making us write more code. That's the problem.

I analyzed research papers on AI-generated code quality. The findings:

→ 1.7x more issues than human-written code
→ 30-41% increase in technical debt
→ 39% increase in cognitive complexity
→ Initial speed gains disappear within a few months

We're building the wrong thing faster and calling it productivity.

The bottleneck was never writing code. It's understanding what to build.

If you're using AI coding tools, focus on:
• Smaller features (if it's 1000 lines, it's too big to review)
• Clear acceptance criteria before you prompt
• Tests first, AI-generated code second
• Security audits (AI can't do this)

More code isn't the goal. Solving real problems is.

I don’t want to defend that practice. I can illustrate a challenge. Yesterday my website got 24 spam newsletter signups. Likely LLMs.
