⚠️

Notable

1. AI Model Uncertainty remains a core challenge; the author explicitly notes AI does not always adhere to context rules, lacks proactive refactoring, and may forget to update documentation. This highlights that AI is still an unreliable tool requiring substantial manual intervention and correction. 2. This workflow resembles applying traditional TDD and code review processes to AI, rather than addressing AI-assisted development's fundamental pain points—namely, inconsistent code quality and difficulty controlling its 'divergent' thinking. 3. The conclusion 'AI can write code faster than you can review it' exposes the central dilemma of AI-assisted development: the trade-off between speed and quality. This framework exchanges complex management for 'controlled AI,' fundamentally failing to achieve a true efficiency leap.
