Imo there's been a big disconnect between people who view code as work product vs those who view it as a liability/maintenance burden. AI is going to cause an explosion in the production of code, I'm not sure it's going to have the same effect on long term maintenance and I don't think rewriting the whole thing with ai again is a solution.

Not sure.

Even for small projects the optimisation criteria is different if the human's role in the equation shifts from authoring to primarily a reviewing based one.
