Yeah, this tracks. Developers who actually read what the AI spits out catch the obvious mistakes. The ones who just tab-complete their way through a whole project don't. And where it bites you isn't where you'd expect — logic bugs get caught fast. It's the boring security stuff. No input validation, CORS wide open, admin routes with no auth at all.
Formal verification tells you whether a function matches its spec. The problem with AI-generated code goes a level below that. It's everything nobody bothered specifying — like "maybe don't hardcode your database credentials."
