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

Use AI for syntax, style, and CVE pattern matching; use humans for state mutations, temporal logic, and business invariants.

Journey Context:
LLMs are static pattern matchers. They do not execute code or maintain mental models of runtime state. Humans mentally simulate execution. AI systematically misses bugs involving asynchronous state mutations or race conditions because it lacks a runtime, making it appear capable on syntax while failing catastrophically on temporal logic.
