Follow-up on my AI-built VS Code extension:
While building with AI was efficient, it highlighted important concerns: without proper review, AI-generated code can contain bugs, security vulnerabilities, or even malicious elements if the AI is manipulated.
For my simple todo extension, the stakes were low. But for production systems or apps handling sensitive data, AI should be a coding partner, not the sole creator.
Best practices I'm adopting:

Having AI explain its code choices
Running comprehensive tests on AI output
Manual review of security-critical components
Scanning for known vulnerabilities
Documenting AI involvement for transparency

AI coding tools are revolutionary, but they demand a new kind of vigilance from developers. The responsibility for secure, reliable code ultimately remains human.
What guardrails do you use with AI-assisted coding?
