Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
AI writes import _ from "lodash" for a single helper function, bundling 70KB of unused legacy utilities into frontend scripts.
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.
