The scary part is that codebases are getting layers of AI complexity, that it's going to cost $$$ to have the latest model decipher and make changes as no human can understand the code anymore.

Pretty soon there is no code reuse and we're burning money reinventing the wheel over and over.

Isn't this a bit like old Java or IDE-heavy languages like old Java/C#? If you tried to make Android apps back in the early days, you HAD to use an IDE, writing the ridicolous amount of boilerplate you had to write to display a "Hello Word" alert after clicking a button was soul destroying.

		At least a human can get involved. Complex codebases written by humans can be understood. If the barrier is too high, code is refactored.
