Engineering Teams Are Struggling to Verify AI-Generated Code at Scale

This article argues that the real bottleneck in AI-assisted software development is no longer code generation, but verification. Drawing on industry reports, testing theory, mutation-guided validation, formal verification systems, and the emerging concept of “Harness Engineering,” it explores how AI-generated code creates comprehension debt, weakens ownership, and overwhelms traditional review workflows. The broader thesis is that engineering organizations must shift from human-centric code revi...
