Understand the Code AI Wrote

AI is fantastic for learning, and equally fantastic for avoiding learning. If you don’t understand the code your agent wrote, you’re using AI to avoid learning, as sure as any hapless high-schooler asking ChatGPT to write a five-page report. You possess a tool that can accelerate you to mastery, and you’re using it to keep you in a permanent state of competent helplessness—always able to get the answer, never actually knowing anything.
