Where it helps developers.
WHERE IT GENUINELY HELPS
Boilerplate and repetitive code Explaining unfamiliar code Writing tests Translating between languages Suggesting approaches Documentation Debugging assistance
WHERE IT DOES NOT
Understanding your whole system Architecture decisions Anything security-sensitive Knowing current library versions and their changes
THE REVIEW REQUIREMENT
Every line reviewed before it enters a codebase.
Generated code that looks correct may use outdated methods, handle failure poorly, or contain security flaws.
WHAT GOES WRONG
Deprecated methods Missing error handling
Insecure patterns: injection, weak validation, poor secret handling
Subtly wrong logic that passes casual reading
THE PACKAGE PROBLEM
Models occasionally reference libraries that do not exist.
Attackers have registered those names to distribute malicious packages.
Verify any dependency before installing it.
WHAT TO NEVER DO
Run generated code against production data without understanding it Accept security-relevant code without review Paste proprietary code into a service you have not assessed
