AI-generated code can be difficult to debug due to unfamiliar patterns, complex logic, and lack of developer understanding.

Debugging Challenges

  • Unfamiliar code patterns
  • Complex nested logic
  • Missing context and comments
  • Inconsistent error handling

Debugging Nightmare

// AI generates complex code:
const processData = (data) => data
  .filter((item, index, arr) => 
    arr.findIndex(x => x.id === item.id) === index)
  .map(item => ({
    ...item,
    processed: item.value > 0 ? 
      Math.sqrt(item.value * 2.5) : 0
  }))
  .reduce((acc, curr) => {
    const key = curr.category || "default";
    return {
      ...acc,
      [key]: [...(acc[key] || []), curr]
    };
  }, {});

// When this breaks, good luck debugging it!

Write readable, maintainable code even with AI assistance.
