Have you tried just asking CC to make a codebase more elegant? It’s surprisingly effective up to a point. No reason to think that won’t work better down the road.

Down the road AI is smarter than all of us. Today (including one time literally today), my experience is that it’s occasionally helpful at cleaning up its own mess but often tries to change behavior in a way that’s unacceptable for a production project.

  > often tries to change behavior
yes, and (in my experience) at the same time re-write the unit tests that are supposed to guarantee behavior doesn't change...
