Blog posts are often a self-fulfilling prophecy. Ever since I wrote the post about reading code AI generates, I’m paying even more attention to the code.

@manton I'm using Codex heavily on this green-field project. Popular framework, very basic app. It does things *constantly* that I don't like. Yes it works, but the code smell is horrible.

"No not like that," is my most common reply.

Devs have become the repositories of wisdom for inexperienced AI.

@sonicrocketman It’s an interesting problem. Sometimes it’ll do something I don’t like but it’s not wrong, so I let it go. Other times I want to tweak little things. If it’s coding style, giving it tips in AGENTS.md also helps a lot.
