A Developer's Guide to Improving AI Code Reliability

You’ve probably been there: your AI coding assistant just generated what looks like a perfect solution to your problem. Decent code quality, reasonable structure, and even some comments. You run it, and… it works. So you ship it. Three weeks later, your production logs are full of 500 errors from edge cases the AI never considered, or worse, you discover the code has been making unvalidated database calls that could have been prevented with basic input sanitization.

This year was especially memorable for me, as I had the opportunity to attend my first tech conference and travel across the country for work. I’m still buzzing from everything I learned and the people I met.
