If AI coding is lowering your code quality, you're not managing quality right

Iouri Khramtsov shares a 7-layer defense setup that reduces bugs while using AI coding agents. The key is having AI review requirements for gaps, enforcing >95% unit test coverage, manual testing, E2E tests, AI-driven code quality passes, human+AI PR reviews, and production monitoring. He reports 2-3x output increase with fewer bugs. Manual testing remains the main bottleneck with only modest productivity gains so far.
