Every time this subject comes up, there are a bunch of takes along the lines of "would you work on a codebase maintained by agents? they'll mess up the code". And I'm asking myself where these people work, because in 20+ years I've yet to see that pristine state of a project that keeps being pristine after the honeymoon greenfield phase, and 50+ people start working on it. Every project devolves in time, old stuff gets patched in a hurry, someone tries to make it better, learns why certain things were done a certain way, hits some undocumented client needs handled by some arcane combination of code + external systems, and so on. If anything, keeping track of what does what in a project is a task where agents can shine, if only in "ask" mode so you can figure out things quicker. Not to mention onboarding and stuff for new team members.
