Addy Osmani coins "comprehension debt" — the growing gap between code volume and human understanding when teams rely heavily on AI code generation. Unlike technical debt, it breeds false confidence: tests pass, code looks clean, but no one understands the design decisions or system architecture. The reckoning arrives when simple changes cause unexpected breakage, as teams lose the "theory of the system."
