[counterintuitive] Generating code with an LLM and using the same or similar LLM to review the code for bugs

Use static analysis tools \(linters, type checkers, fuzzers\) to verify AI-generated code; do not rely on LLM self-review or peer LLM review.

Journey Context:
LLMs have a systematic 'blind spot' for their own failure modes. If an LLM generates a bug due to a flawed internal representation of a library, asking it to review the code will yield the same flawed representation. It will confidently approve its own buggy code. Humans catch this because they apply external rules or run the code. LLM self-correction without external feedback is an illusion.
