Why Does AI Code Hide Complexity Instead of Managing It?

Good abstraction organizes complexity so a builder can navigate it, drill into it, and reason about where things break. AI generated code often does the opposite: it produces clean looking layers that hide complexity instead of managing it, because the model draws its boundaries wherever the pattern completes, not where the system actually needs a seam. This episode names that inversion and gives builders a way to spot it before it costs them a production incident.
