The Defensive AI Routine: 5 Steps to Stop LLM Hallucinations

"AI did it" is not an excuse when production money is on the line.

While handwritten code has become an expensive luxury, blind reliance on Large Language Models (LLMs) is a fast track to architectural ruin. In complex, multi-repository systems like my crypto-trading analytics engine, Colossus, a 95% correct solution is a complete failure. If you treat AI like a magic wand, you are simply accelerating code entropy by a factor of ten.

In this episode, I break down the 5-step defensive AI routing I use to keep my codebase strict, predictable, and production-ready. We move past the standard "hype" and look at how to properly handle LLM context degradation, slice specs effectively, and use tool-agnostic engineering skills to force AI into doing actual, high-quality refactoring.
