I'm facing the same problem. I'm spending a lot of time on side projects now precisely because my company is forcing our strongly encouraging everyone to use AI for coding. At some point I found myself complacent enough to accept AI code at face value which scared me. With my side projects, I still use AI, but only when I get stuck, to help me get the aha moment. But most of the time it's, hmm... That works but, I don't think we should do it this way. Very tempting to continue prompting and keep going from there though, I have to say.

I had a similar experience with unfamiliar frameworks. The less you understand the domain, the easier it is to accept clean-looking but wrong code

Good test actually : try explaining the solution without any hints. If you can't walk through why the code is structured that way, then the review was superficial

Ooh that's good advice! Very useful for everyone in my team. Appreciate it!
