[counterintuitive] AI code review catches deep logic bugs better than humans

Use AI for style, naming, and local anti-patterns; rely on humans for global state, business logic, and temporal coupling bugs.

Journey Context:
Developers assume AI's vast training data makes it superior at spotting subtle bugs. In reality, LLMs lack runtime state and have a narrow effective context window. They excel at syntax and local logic but fail catastrophically on temporal bugs \(race conditions\) or business logic spanning microservices. Humans intuitively build mental models of runtime execution; LLMs only see static text, leading to high confidence on fundamentally flawed global logic.
