How do you manage the massive influx of AI-generated technical debt?
The introduction of coding copilots (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) has created a localized velocity spike at the cost of global system stability. Junior developers can now generate 2,000-line functions in seconds. This phenomenon, often referred to as "AI Slop," results in massive, un-architected pull requests that burn out senior engineers trying to review them.
The Loss of Codebase Intimacy
When developers offload the actual writing of code to an LLM, they lose intimacy with the repository. They no longer understand *why* a function was structured a certain way, only that the LLM said it worked. When a Sev-1 outage occurs in that code three months later, the Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) skyrockets because no human actively understands the execution path.

The Remediation Strategy
You must implement the Sunset Protocol. Force your team to periodically delete code. If an engineer cannot fully explain a 2,000-line LLM-generated function during a PR review, the PR is rejected immediately. Institute strict cyclomatic complexity checks in your CI/CD pipeline to mathematically block bloated AI code from entering main.
