When a human writes a sloppy variable name, it stays local and dies at the next refactor. When an AI writes one, it becomes the seed vocabulary for every function, test, comment, and downstream file the model touches afterward, because the model reads its own prior output as authoritative context. This episode breaks down the naming cascade as a real failure mode builders are living with right now, and shows why the cheapest intervention point is the first thirty lines of generated code, not the code review at the end.
