Amalgamations

1) Figured this out.

It reads: I mass deleted 3 months of AI generated code last week. Here is what I learned.

Three months of building a side project almost entirely with AI assistance. ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, the works. Shipped fast, felt productive, everything seemed fine.

Then I needed to add a feature that touched most of the codebase. And I realised I could not do it. Not because it was hard, but because I did not actually understand how my own project worked.

The AI had generated clean looking code with consistent patterns, but the patterns were not mine. I could not trace the logic from memory. I could not explain to someone else why a function was structured the way it was. Every time I tried to modify something I had to re-read everything like it was someone else’s code. Because it was.

So I deleted about 70% of it and rewrote it from scratch. Took two weeks. The result is simpler, half the lines of code, and I actually understand every piece of it.
