Claude wrote it. Claude forgot it. Vibe coding feels like magic at first. You go from idea → working demo in hours. The AI writes the routes. The logic. Even the edge cases. It ships fast. Then a week later… something breaks. You open the file and realize You don’t actually know why half the code exists. No commit messages. No comments. No memory of the tradeoffs. The model moved on. You’re left debugging decisions you never made. Fast creation is exciting. But maintainability is what actually scales. AI coding tools like Claude can boost productivity — But if you don’t understand the code, you’re building future tech debt. The real question isn’t “Can AI build it?” It’s “Can you maintain it?” What’s your experience with AI-generated code? Has it saved you time — or cost you time later? 👇 Drop your honest take in the comments. --- FOLLOW @activeprogrammer to learn something new every day! #ArtificialIntelligence #AICoding #SoftwareDevelopment #TechDebt #ProgrammingLife
