Why would it not be a waste of energy for an LLM? It must still be a waste, but perhaps the cost of the waste is so low that it’s much easier to justify

Yes, the cost of fixing it when the actual problem arises is IMO lower than the cost of spending energy and human time up front to make it maintainable and extensible. I know it sounds crazy when I write it out like that, but this is something I've been thinking a lot about recently. Agentic coding is a paradigm shift and we have to rethink a lot about what use to make sense.
