@jacob@social.jacobian.org code quality does not matter *if the code never has to change*. it’s always a forward looking statement: we want easy to understand code because we will have to modify it later.
if later never comes then i agree entirely;
but in my own very limited explorations imho the LLMs also find good code easier to read and reason about…

@jacob@social.jacobian.org if we stop seeing transformative improvements in model quality, i suspect we’ll get more of a bifurcation along business models? facebook can move fast and break stuff; orgs with high uptime demands can’t. pressure to yolo will be higher with one than the other
