How We Build With AI: Architecture and Flexibility Over Keystrokes

AI now writes a large share of the code in any serious shop — 84% of developers use it daily. We lean into that on purpose. Letting agents produce the code frees our engineers to do the work AI is worst at: architecture, flexibility, and the whole-system decisions that determine whether software survives its second year. Here is how we actually build in 2026, why we moved the human effort up the stack, and how we keep AI-written code from turning into the tangled codebases we audit every week.

AI Code Audit Findings: 6 Problems in Almost Every AI-Built Codebase

Your AI-built app may already be live, and the security holes are only half the story. As the same six engineering problems pile up — no tests, rampant duplication, no consistent architecture, callback hell, no awareness of the deployment environment, and secrets in plain sight — the codebase gets so tangled that even an AI agent can no longer keep implementing changes safely. That is exactly why an audit is needed: here is what each problem looks like, why AI produces it, and how we fix it.
