[counterintuitive] Relying on AI code review to catch complex state mutation or concurrency bugs

Use AI for local syntax and convention checks, but enforce formal methods, strict type states, or human review for global state mutations and concurrency.

Journey Context:
LLMs process code as flat sequences of tokens. They are fundamentally blind to the temporal evolution of program state across multiple asynchronous events. Humans intuitively build a mental model of the heap and event loop over time; AI lacks this, making it catastrophically overconfident in approving code that has race conditions or stale state reads.
