Review the AI's Code Like a Stranger Wrote It

The model wrote it in two seconds.
That's exactly why you slow down.

Speed of authorship
is not evidence of correctness.

It looks right. It reads fluent.
Fluent is the trap.

You didn't struggle for it,
so you didn't build the mental model
that catches its mistakes.

So read it like a stranger sent it:
suspicious, line by line, out loud.
Where does it fail? What did it assume?
What edge did it quietly skip?

The code is only as good
as the person reviewing it.

If you can't review it,
you didn't save time. You borrowed it.
