While I have mixed feelings about AI's impact on my work, I am happy that I can address 5-7 years of technical debt in code bases as I come across it due to AI lowering the cost. Typically the solution is not too difficult; it just required a lot of time in research and testing which AI streamlined. I am able to verify everything at the end ran through the proper test cases and that the fix is what I expected.
I just can't understand that anyone is seriously thinking that AI is improving the situation when it comes to tech debt instead of making it way worse.

For every bug or security issue it fixes, it creates 10 more.

Sounds like a skill issue
Are we still using "you're not prompting it right" in 2026? Lol.

You're not using LLMs at all or not auditing anything if you don't see them making major mistakes on basic things every day multiple times a day.
