[synthesis] How to ensure AI-generated code works before showing it to the user
Implement an automated verification step in your generation loop. For code, this means running a linter, type checker, or attempting to compile/render before showing the result to the user. If it fails, feed the error back to the model for a self-correction loop \(hidden from the user\).
Journey Context:
Relying solely on user feedback \(thumbs up/down\) is too slow and sparse. The most successful AI coding tools close the feedback loop programmatically. They treat the compiler/linter as an automated evaluator. The user only sees the 'polished' result after the model has fixed its own obvious errors. This dramatically increases perceived quality. People get this wrong by showing the raw LLM output directly to the user, exposing them to easily preventable syntax errors.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
