Agent code can only be read and understood by agents. We’ve reached the point where people just can’t comprehend these giant code blobs.

Feature, bug or emergent property?

I don’t think the distinction matters as much as the reality.

We’re being locked into using the AI tooling bc the code was generated with AI tooling.

These giant files of doom were being generated by humans anyway and were very hard to work with. With LLMs it’s at last manageable or feasible to edit, refactor etc.

I honestly think LLMs are going to save us from ourselves as the codebases became too large and “messy” for humans to comprehend. (Mono repos of doom)

On a personal level these giant files are abhorrent but that’s just personal taste and I don’t think any of the Martin Fowler refactor/cleanup stuff is going to matter at all anymore. Kinda sad on some level.
