Reviewing and refactoring AI-generated code for maintainability

AI generates working code fast, but the human uses it as a draft that must be reviewed, quality-checked, and refactored to avoid unmaintainable spaghetti code.

Why the human is still essential here

Human review remains essential for quality control, architecture judgment, and refactoring so the final codebase is elegant, structured, and safe to ship.

How people use this

Pull request quality pass

AI reviews generated diffs to surface obvious code smells, duplicated logic, and missing edge cases before the engineer performs final review.
