AI coding agents still need human judgment

People who start coding with AI agents often move from early excitement to a reality check where the tool’s limits become clear. More experienced developers tend to reach a balanced way of working faster because they already know what good output should look like.

In a workflow, the person checks the result, guides the model, and controls the final quality. Less experienced developers may struggle because they cannot yet tell strong code from weak code.

They can hit the reality check stage without knowing how to recover from it. A key concern is whether beginners can build a feel for well-written, if most of their coding practice becomes reviewing code produced by an agent.
