AI-generated code has a shelf life. I build production platforms with AI every day. Not autocomplete, full platforms. Hundreds of components at a time. The code AI writes on Day 1 is impressive. The code you're trying to change on Day 2 is the problem. It's not that AI writes bad code. It writes code without architecture. A 400-line module that mixes five responsibilities, works perfectly, and nobody can safely change, because the only "documentation" was the context window that generated it. It gets worse with teams. Three developers prompting AI separately means three different patterns, three sets of assumptions, zero shared structure. Each session produces working code. Together it produces chaos. We built Bit around solving this. Every component has explicit boundaries, declared dependencies, isolated tests. When AI generates into that structure, the output stays maintainable — whether it's one developer or ten. When it doesn't — you get a black box nobody wants to touch. → Structured AI output = teams can iterate, change, scale → Unstructured AI output = rewrite The bottleneck was never code generation speed. It's whether what you generated can survive contact with reality.
