Spot on. Fast build is easy, maintainable systems are the hard part.

SSorry for the late response , this really resonates. I’ve seen the same thing. AI code is fast to build but can be hard to maintain later. Setting clear architecture first feels important. ADRs could help as a good guardrail, as long as they stay simple and are actually followed in practice.

Yeah. The trap isn’t fast code, it’s outsourcing thinking to speed.

The “junior dev PR” framing is exactly it. AI gets you to day one fast, but maintainability still comes from design, not generation. Without that, you’re just deferring the cost.

100%. AI scales output, not clarity.

Glad you found it interesting! It’s a newer way to think about RAG that does not use vector embeddings. I’d love to hear your thoughts if you have used traditional RAG before. Thanks!
