## AI overview

Sentry staff engineer Greg Pstrucha argues that improving AI-generated code requires more than better prompts. In his discussion of the "Stop Prompting" talk, he recommends linters, strong tests, type systems, frameworks, and skills as baseline safeguards, supplemented by evaluations for harder-to-codify quality judgments.
