I think this is interesting but it seems brittle. It makes me think of the Agile Manifesto "Working software over comprehensive documentation" - not that I evangelize for Agile.

Totally with you, it does feel fragile. Something hard to come to terms with for me is how much we actually care about the way something has been done itself

if there are three equally good ways of solving a problem, it seems like reading every line stops feeling like a good use of time (and maybe even kills the speed gains of ai assistance)

Thanks for the discussion by the way :) It's refreshing to chat outside of my own mind and get a fresh take
