Untested undocumented LLM code is technical debt, but if you do specs and tests it's actually the opposite, you can go beyond technical debt and regenerate your code as you like. You just need testing to be so good it guarantees the behavior you care about, and that is easier in our age of AI coding agents.

Having to write all the specs and tests just right so you can regenerate the code until you get the desired output just sounds like an expensive version of the infinite monkey theorem, but with LLMs instead of monkeys.
