  "account": "AI-generated code reviews often fail to catch critical issues. A developer built an open-source QA system to force AI to actually audit code before approving it. This strict workflow includes citation requirements, phase gates, runtime validation, rule-based hacking, and re-analysis.\n\nThe system has four stack-specific versions that force LLMs through 19 rigorous checks covering security, performance, and functionality. By requiring proofs and cross-references to real errors, the AI's suggestions are vetted more thoroughly. Fresh eyes from a second reviewer catch missed problems.\n\nInstead of blindly approving AI recommendations, this workflow demands proof and validation at every step. Developers can try it out on their projects to see if the AI still misses bugs after this strict testing. The developer invites collaboration on building an even more foolproof AI testing suite.",
  "summary": "We've all been there. You paste a complex chunk of code into ChatGPT or Claude, ask for a deep security review, and 10 seconds later you get: \"Looks great! Your code is well-structured. Good job!\" Then you push to staging, and immediately hit a massive CORS error, a memory leak, or a broken state mutation. LLMs are incredible tools, but fundamentally, they are \"people-pleasers.\" They are…",
