The original title is 10 words: "Restructuring an AI-generated backend: why architectural judgment still needs humans"

Short summary

A developer recounts fixing an AI-generated backend that was producing random errors due to tangled routes handling business logic, database calls, and validation all in one place. The fix was reorganizing around a layered architecture. The takeaway: AI can generate code, but recognizing when a codebase needs structural rethinking remains a human judgment call.

• •AI-generated backend had tangled routes causing unpredictable errors
• •Fix: reorganize into layered architecture separating concerns
• •Key lesson: knowing when to restructure is a human call, not an AI task
