Yeah I did pour a lot of sweat and thinking into that codebase all those years ago.

When I do a drive-by edit, I probably don't remember it in a week.

Which is why the "cognitive debt" from the article is relevant, IMHO. If I just thoroughly review the plan and quickly scan the resulting code, will that have a strong enough imprint on my mind over time?

I would like to think "yes", my gut is telling me "no". IMHO the LLMs are now "good enough" for coding. These are hard questions we'll have to grapple with this in the next year or two (in context of AI-assisted software development).
