AI generates code that looks correct, sounds confident, and is sometimes subtly wrong. I wrote up the three-layer review process I use to catch the things AI consistently misses. Plus the tools that help: Laravel Boost and Ponytail. jamesking.dev/blog/review...

jamesking.devHow to Review AI-Generated Code Before It Hits Production | BlogAI generates code fast. That means more surface area to review, not less. Here's the review process I've settled on after months of daily use.

the layer most people skip: diffing against what you actually asked for, not just what the tests happen to cover. agents love padding files nobody asked them to touch.

Ponytail is a fantastic tool to help avoid the padding completely, 100% recommended.

Good to know, never used it. Does it stop the padding before it happens or just flag it after the diff already landed?

Stops generating the useless padding entirely.
