🍭 The Cost of AI. {code_chaos} 🤦♂️
AI writes 41% of code and I keep saying "i'll do it later".
Good morning. AI writes 41% of code. But we’re all still stuck debugging.
And landing big clients might mean bigger headaches…unless you know this secret.
Let’s dig in.
What’s Cookin’:
AI Code. Human Cleanup.
Growth feels good. Until it scares the hell out of you.
5 Tools: Agent pipelines → code scanning, tools to stay in control

And Everything Else you Need to Know

🧑💻 The AI Dev Hype Hits a Speed Bump
The Bite: AI might be writing 41% of the world’s code now. But that doesn’t mean it’s production-ready.
Dev teams are starting to realize: AI can ship a function fast… and break your backend faster.
In fact, 67% of engineering leaders say they spend more time debugging AI code than their own.
Snacks:
59% say AI-generated code introduces bugs at least half the time
68% spend extra time fixing security issues from AI suggestions
27-day experiment: a dev used AI for everything (1,700+ commits)… and simple bugs became hours of AI prompt wrangling
The job’s not disappearing — it’s shifting: devs are now mentors, validators, and QA bosses
New tools like Diffblue, E2B, and Sonar aim to catch what the LLMs miss
“Trust, but verify” is the new default mindset for AI-assisted coding
Writing a clear AI policy is now just as important as shipping features
Why it bites: Code generation is fast. Shipping safe, tested, production-ready code is not.
The illusion that AI is replacing developers fades quickly when you realize someone still has to:
→ debug the hallucinated imports
→ check for licensing issues
→ test runtime behavior
→ scan for security holes
→ explain what the code even does
We’re not saying AI tools aren’t valuable (we love them).
But as one dev put it, “What used to be a 5-minute fix turned into hours of babysitting the AI.”
Ok to be fair, it’s not always like this.
But the bigger the codebase, the bigger the problem.
The shift is real: You’re no longer just writing code.
You’re managing a mildly competent intern who never sleeps and sometimes breaks your app.
The AI won’t replace you.
But it is changing what your job looks like.

⏰ The Trap of “Figuring It Out Later”
The Bite: Every solopreneur says they’ll add structure when they need it.
Then they actually need it.
And realize they’re too busy putting out fires to build the fire station.
Snacks: Why Solos + Small Teams Have Real Advantage
🍭 Growth Is Quietly Terrifying
→ Solopreneurs want clients, projects, scale—until they get them.
→ Then comes the anxiety: “What if I break this? What if I can’t deliver?”
🍭 Invisible Anxiety
→ It’s easy to trust yourself when it’s just you.
→ But with a bigger client? Suddenly, your confidence cracks.
🍭 Fake Safety Nets
→ Most solos pretend they’ll “organize later.”
→ Later comes, things are more messy, and there’s no time left to build the net.
🍭 The Confidence Trap
→ You trusted yourself enough to succeed. But now growth demands trusting a system.
→ Systems feel slow, boring, bureaucratic.
Why it Bites: We recently watched a solopreneur land their biggest client yet.
Huge win.
Then came the fear.
→ “How do they onboard smoothly?”
→ “How do they ensure consistent quality?”
→ “What happens if something goes wrong?”
But this solopreneur didn’t panic, they had quietly prepared.
→ They’d built a tiny, invisible system. Stupid Simple rules, clear frameworks.
→ Not a corporate maze — just a few guardrails so they could confidently grow without losing speed.
That’s your actual advantage:
Not governance. Not bureaucracy.
Just enough structure to grow without killing the speed that made you successful in the first place.
You’re not adding layers. You’re removing anxiety.
