Develop With AI: Balancing Speed and Confidence Without Becoming a Bottleneck
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, June 16th, 2026
Describes building a desktop IDE focused on reviewing AI-generated code to avoid becoming a development bottleneck.
The article tackles the dilemma of reviewing AI-generated code: reviewing everything makes you a bottleneck, while reviewing nothing lets bugs, vulnerabilities, and technical debt accumulate.
It describes an experiment building a desktop app that complements CLI agents like Claude Code, functioning as an IDE focused on reviewing AI-generated code rather than writing it.
The application is built as an Electron app with React, multiple backend services, a built-in terminal, and embedded SonarQube for IDE in Connected Mode. It runs cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux to help developers balance speed with confidence.
