Should I deploy AI-generated code directly?

No. Never deploy AI-generated code without review.

Treat AI-generated code like code from a junior developer — it needs:

• Code review — Read through the logic and check for issues
• Security review — Look for hardcoded secrets, missing validation, injection risks
• Testing — Run automated tests and manual checks
• Staging deployment — Test in a production-like environment first

Skipping these steps is like deploying code you found on a random forum post. It might work — but it might also cost you users, data, or revenue.
