Why Does AI Code Break When Someone Else Tries to Change It?

AI generated code often runs correctly on day one, which builders mistake for evidence that it is well built. The real test comes later, when a different engineer, or the same engineer six months on, has to modify it without the context the AI used to write it. This episode looks at why AI code creates a hidden maintenance tax that only shows up at the handoff, not at the demo.
