How do you review code when AI writes most of the first draft?

I ve been using AI coding tools Claude and Codex more often lately, and I keep running into the same problem:

I explain the task clearly
The agent writes a big chunk of code
The code looks correct at first glance
I start reviewing it and realise I don t fully know why some decisions were made
Now the fast part becomes slow because I have to reverse-engineer the changes

The issue isn t that the AI writes bad code every time. Sometimes it writes useful code. The harder part is staying confident that I understand what changed, why it changed, and what might break later.

What’s the first technical decision you lock in when starting a new SaaS product?

For me, I feel like the hardest part isn't choosing between tools like React, Firebase, Railway, etc, it's really deciding which parts of the stack I should commit most of my time and tokens early and which ones may become painful to replace later.

Do you stick with a familiar stack and avoid overthinking it, design around expected scale from day one, let your coding agent influence the architecture, or start with the cheapest setup and migrate later? Also, curious which early technical choice has saved you the most time, and which one you wish you probably shouldn't have overthinked on.

What makes you trust a new SaaS product?

I have been thinking about this recently. When I discover a new SaaS product, I don t only judge it by the design or features. I usually look at whether the homepage explains the problem clearly, if the pricing is simple, if there are real screenshots, and if the team/founder feels reachable.

Sometimes, a simple product with clear messaging feels more trustworthy than a very polished product with vague promises.

What do you personally check before trusting or trying a new SaaS product?
