Re:Code duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction by gb2d_hn on Sunday June 21, 2026 @01:24PM (#48620737)
It's made me wonder the same, but most LLM generated codebases haven't been around long enough to judge maintainability. I have noticed issues in some of my more LLM heavy code when I expect a change to be replicated in multiple areas, assuming common code / styling was reused, only to find it wasn't. It's for that reason I can't use LLMs for client codebases without heavy scrutiny of every line generated (for my own hobby projects I'm a lot more lenient)
