Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
AI tools prefer appending new code to existing files rather than refactoring, producing massive 1,000+ line components that break context windows.
AI code generation prioritizes immediate syntax execution over production edge cases. When an assistant hits an undefined variable or strict type error, it frequently takes the path of least resistance rather than implementing standard pre-launch security patterns.
