Misalignment(ミスアラインメント):AIコーディングエージェントの隠れたコストは、AIそのものではない
Blog post from CodeRabbit
The hidden costs of AI coding agents extend beyond tokens or tools to include issues of misalignment that manifest as rework, decreased quality, and hindered team performance. The main challenge lies not in the choice of AI model, but in how it is integrated into team workflows. Misalignments arise when AI-generated code, though technically correct, does not align with team expectations, leading to increased time spent on revisions, explanations, and adjustments. This results in a costly cycle of prompt tweaking and code reviews, which can outweigh the benefits of AI's speed. CodeRabbit addresses these challenges by promoting collaborative planning before coding begins, ensuring clear alignment on project goals and reducing downstream rework. By integrating with issue management tools like Linear, Jira, and GitHub Issues, CodeRabbit generates structured coding plans that incorporate organizational knowledge and past project contexts, allowing teams to refine assumptions and prompts collaboratively. This approach shifts focus from individual AI outputs to a holistic team process, enhancing alignment and efficiency in AI-assisted development.
