Developers are encountering difficulties in maintaining software generated by AI coding agents, even with proper engineering processes in place. This challenge stems from a reduced direct engagement with the codebase, leading to a lack of deep intuition for debugging and extending features. Additionally, the increased productivity from AI agents results in larger and more complex codebases, demanding developers maintain context over a greater surface area, which heightens cognitive load during code reviews and extensions.
