The author reflects on their experience of using AI to develop a Kubernetes dashboard, k10s, and the challenges they faced. They discuss five key lessons learned about AI-assisted coding: 1) AI focuses on features rather than architecture, leading to a 'god object' with intertwined responsibilities; 2) The 'god object' pattern is common due to its simplicity but can lead to complex state management issues; 3) Velocity illusion can expand scope beyond intended goals; 4) Positional data in arrays can cause bugs and hard-to-debug issues; 5) AI doesn't own state transitions, leading to potential concurrency problems. The author plans to rewrite k10s using Rust and a more hands-on approach to design.
