@yiningkarlli kinda ignores that the expense with code isn't writing it. It's maintaining and adapting it in 6 ...12 .. 24 months from now.
As an AI bro you could say "whatever, screw refactoring, we just have AI write it all from scratch", but that doesn't sound super scalable either

@kwramm @yiningkarlli I've been part of some "rewrite it from scratch" projects before, which is why I'm now a No Engineer who instead says "we should rework our existing solution, not rewrite it". The number of times the spec has been "the new system should do everything the old system does, but with new technology" and then nobody knows what the old system does, or why. And LLMs don't fix that part (no, not even with spec driven development)
