AI Coding Assistants, Quality, And You: Now What?
-----------------------------------------------

tl;dr: These are principles, not tool-specific techniques, and they generally aren't different from what good engineers are already doing.

Bolster Our Guardrails
----------------------

AI assistants can produce a lot of code quickly. That's genuinely useful, but it means our existing guardrails need to be stronger, not weaker. The checks that catch problems before production matter more when the volume of code increases.

## Code Quality In The Age Of AI Assistants
------------------------------------

Code quality has always mattered. That isn't changing. What is changing is how easy it has become to produce large volumes of code quickly - and that makes our commitment to quality more important than ever.

AI assistants are powerful tools, but they're not silver bullets. They can accelerate the tedious parts of development, but they also make it easier to write bad code - faster, in greater volume, and with a false sense of confidence. The standard we hold ourselves to has to rise to meet that reality.

## Be Proud of the Code You Write
