This is the thing that gets me. The code compiles. Passes tests. So you stop reading it. Why wouldn't you.

Then three weeks later you're tracing some control flow that makes no sense and nobody knows why it's structured that way. Not you, not the model. I've been treating it like code from a contractor now, review every line same as a junior dev's PR. Gets tedious but the alternative is worse.

Agree on the context window framing. If an LLM needs well-defined boundaries to work well, just write clean module interfaces. You don't need a network boundary for that.

The part about "less scrutiny on PR review" and committing straight to main is telling too. That's not really about microservices, that's just wanting to ship faster with less oversight. Works until it doesn't.
