Why Your AI-Generated Code Keeps Breaking (And How to Fix Your Process)

Let me tell you about the three months I spent writing every line of code by hand. No Copilot. No ChatGPT. No AI autocomplete. Just me, my editor, and the docs. It started because I kept running into the same frustrating problem: code that looked right but behaved wrong. AI-generated functions that passed a quick glance but had subtle issues - wrong error handling, misunderstood edge cases, dependencies I didn't actually need. I was shipping code I didn't fully understand, and it was catching up with me.
