Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
Agents write deeply nested if/else ladders inside callbacks rather than using guard clauses or early returns.
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.
