The Comprehension Audit

Six honest questions about how you work with AI and how much of the result you can explain. This is a moment to reflect. Your answers stay in this browser and are never sent anywhere.

1. This week, I shipped code an AI wrote that I couldn't re-derive on my own.
2. I've approved a pull request I didn't fully understand.
3. When someone asks how I shipped so fast, I add a justification nobody asked for.
4. There's a part of a system I own that, honestly, only I half-understand.
5. I've felt a quiet flicker of shame about how much I lean on AI.
6. I have not once said out loud: "I shipped this and I am not sure I get it."
