How do you actually review AI-generated code instead of blindly trusting it? In this workflow I let AI write a FastAPI endpoint, then step through it line by line in the PyCharm debugger before it ever reaches production.
Set a breakpoint, run in debug mode, send a request, and watch every variable in scope change in real time — no print statements, no extra logging, no rerunning the app 100 times. This is exactly how I caught a bug the AI wrote in about 30 seconds, one I would have shipped if I'd just trusted the output.
Use AI for speed, then the debugger to actually understand what it gave you.
