The definitions of what is messy or clean will change will llms…

But there will always be a spectrum of structures that are better for the llm to code with, and coding with less optimal patterns will have negative feedback effects as the loop goes on.

I agree with you but you can dedicate tokens to fixing the bad code that agents do today. I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. I think the practical implication is instead of pain and jira we’ll just have dedicated audit and refactor token budgets.
