My take on the subject has shifted the last months. I had issues with AI's output, the mistakes, hallucinations.

Now I use AI to go asap to 70% of my code. The last 30% is a manual, low AI, approach where I fix the hallucinations, file structure and do the stuff AI is failing me at.

I use Claude Chat, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Windsurf (switching between those all the time)

What about the cases where the AI doesn't hallucinate, produces working code, but the code is just about good enough?

I've just written about that exact scenario. A shoddy piece of code that's just about okay: https://richardcocks.github.io/2025-03-24-PasswordGen

If you're a junior, you might not realise there's anything wrong with the generated code at all.
