Coding agents made writing code almost free, but maintaining it didn't get any cheaper. Dmitry Buykin shares what happens months in, once agents write most of a large production codebase: tests that pass while production breaks, work nobody asked for, rules that contradict each other, and sprawl no one can review. He covers the patterns that actually help, from replaying real tasks and expert-owned evals to runtime guardrails and weekly pruning, and closes with an 18-question checklist for auditing your own AI-coded repo.
