The “it works” vs. “I know why it works” part really hit home for me.

I've definitely had moments where an AI-generated fix solved the immediate problem, but I couldn't fully explain why it worked. And that's usually when I end up going back through the code and digging deeper instead of just moving on.

I think that's one of the weird parts of coding with AI now. It can get you past the wall incredibly fast, but if you're not careful, you can end up on the other side without actually knowing how you got there.

That last line about slowing down and questioning things is probably the biggest takeaway for me too.
