Re:AI usage generates a fragile codebase by geertj on Tuesday November 10, 2026 @07:44AM (#50439553)
I think I agree with all you said, but I can’t go of a clean codebase yet. And I’m not sure I should. Or at least not now, not until the agent can better understand what I actually want.

And you’re right, with a bit of direction and further prompting it’s quite easy to get your code in a reasonable shape.

Mostly my hope is that at some point soon the agents will start writing clean code. But then again, maybe clean code for a galaxy brained agent is not actually the most efficient code from token spend perspective.
