Late one night in Kolkata, a developer sat staring at a glowing screen.  That developer was me.  Two... Tagged with ai, programming, agents, webdev.

Dev.to is a community platform for developers, offering resources, discussions, and networking opportunities to empower individuals in their coding journey. Developers can learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools, engage in discussions on best practices, and share their experiences with fellow developers to enhance their skills and grow their professional network.

A developer shares firsthand experience using AI coding tools on a SaaS Property Management System, uncovering three subtle bugs introduced by AI-generated localization code: a context-wrong translation, lost template literal variable interpolation causing 'undefined' values, and a missed edge-case alert. A colleague's story adds another cautionary tale where an AI agent silently modified unrelated files including a permission check while fixing a UI bug. The key takeaway: AI saves typing but not thinking. Developers must treat AI as a co-pilot, not the captain, and review AI-generated code as rigorously as any other, because production responsibility always falls on the human.

I’ve seen similar issues when relying too much on generated code. It can speed things up, but every line still needs a careful review because the final responsibility always stays with the developer.

The human who initiated the first AI activity should take responsibility. Not a complex problem to solve in my opinion.

This is why AI will never completely “replace” human developers: someone has to take responsibility.
