[counterintuitive] Humans are overconfident in complex boolean logic and regex; AI is strictly better

Delegate complex boolean conditions, nested ternaries, and regex construction to AI, but mandate execution feedback \(unit tests\) to verify the output immediately.

Journey Context:
Humans suffer from cognitive overload when tracking nested scopes or regex state machines, leading to systematic overconfidence and off-by-one errors. AI treats these as formal token generation and excels, provided it has an execution sandbox to verify against edge cases. Trust AI for syntax/formal logic, verify via execution.
